Patient's question:
Here is a picture of a baby who is 8 and a half months old having a bowel movement. I want to ask if the size is normal? Besides that, the baby's stool has been loose for a few days and then dry for a few days, and it's hard to poop, which can cause the skin to break. The baby also has occasional bad breath. They have been eating probiotics, but why is it still like this? What is going on?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the child's condition, it is likely that the symptoms are caused by indigestion. It is recommended that you take probiotics and Amoxicillin granules orally, give the child more water, pay attention to preventing the abdomen from getting cold, and avoid catching a cold. It is suggested to take the child to a local hospital for a thorough examination, eat more fruits and vegetables, and reduce the intake of greasy food. The above is the advice for the question "Why does an 8-month-old baby have loose stools for a few days?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wish you good health!
