Patient's question:
Since he was over five and a half months old, the baby has started having loose stools, with 6-7 bowel movements a day. He was given medicine, visited hospitals and outpatient clinics, and has been on medication for a month. Whenever he changes places, his condition improves slightly, but it starts to worsen again after a day. The baby is now reluctant to take the medicine. Recently, his stools turned green, and someone told him to change them to yellow, but they are still loose. He has been having four bowel movements in the morning. Now, I hear gurgling sounds in his stomach. Why doesn't it get better?Doctor's answer:
Feeding the baby requires attention to hygiene. Always keep the nipple clean and ensure hand hygiene after changing the baby's diapers. Since the baby's stool is affected by the mother's milk, the mom should also pay attention to a balanced diet, eat appropriately, and avoid fried and junk foods. Maintain a regular eating schedule, drink less cold beverages, and can take Montmorillonite powder once a pack, three times a day, before feeding; take the triple live bacteria powder once a pack, twice a day, half an hour after feeding with warm water.
