What should I do if my baby has diarrhea and cries a lot?

Patient's question:

What is the reason for a 6-month-old baby having diarrhea and constantly crying? Is there any good solution? They received IV drips at the hospital, but they keep crying.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the baby should have enteritis, because diarrhea in babies can cause abdominal distension and abdominal pain, which is why the baby keeps crying. It is recommended to take the baby's stool to the hospital for testing and a complete blood count to confirm if there is an infection. If there is an infection, antibiotics should be used for treatment. Currently, it is recommended to use warm water to apply to the abdomen to relieve possible intestinal spasms. Also, pay more attention to the baby's emotions. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting cold.
