Patient's question:
The baby is five months old. Since birth, he has been suffering from diarrhea. For a while, his bowel movements improved slightly after drinking formula milk, but after drinking it for half a month, he refused to drink it anymore. His stool is yellow liquid, coming out bit by bit, mostly with yellow foam. At birth, his weight was 6.7 pounds, and now at five months, his weight is 12 pounds, and his length is 67 centimeters. My milk supply is not very good, it's just clear liquid, but the baby refuses to eat anything except breast milk. What should I do about his chronic diarrhea? Is it necessary to check it?Doctor's answer:
The medicinal treatments include infant stomach-strengthening powder, probiotics, and B vitamins. Please consult a local pediatric Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. There are many causes of infant and toddler diarrhea. If the child is confirmed to have infant and toddler diarrhea, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
