Diarrhea is usually caused by an imbalance in the baby's intestinal flora. Using probiotics generally works. Pay attention to digesting fluids when having diarrhea to avoid dehydration. If breastfeeding, the mother should be careful about what she eats. Formula must be prepared strictly according to the recommended concentration—too thick or too thin can both cause digestive issues in the baby.The main principle of treatment is to prevent dehydration. Smecta can be used, with 1g taken three times a day. After applying Dinggui Er Ni Tie to the navel, apply cold compresses for better effectiveness.
