What help is desired: Want to know if it's necessary to go to the hospital.
Doctor's answer:
Considering infant diarrhea, it is recommended to carefully check the stool test results to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether a cold may have caused intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Barberry Jiaopi Oral Liquid) and Montmorillonite Powder can be recommended. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the breastfeeding intervals to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods are being provided, temporarily stop or adjust the amount. Once the condition improves, gradually reintroduce and restore the normal diet. Especially avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
