Patient's question:
What should I do if my baby starts having diarrhea a few days after birth? Having bowel movements several times a day, yellow in color. Probiotics didn't help.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Probiotics didn't help.
Help needed: How should I treat this?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is normal for the baby to have frequent bowel movements at one month old, and there is no need to give the baby medication or worry too much. The baby is still too young. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a few tests on the stool to diagnose whether there is a viral infection and whether medication is needed. Then, treat the symptoms accordingly. Generally, when the baby is just a few days old, the stool may not be well-formed and may be frequent, but this is still within the normal range. If it is diagnosed that the baby has a viral infection, medication should be given promptly for treatment. Wishing the baby good luck!
