Patient's question:
The child is now 5 months and 7 days old and has started having one bowel movement per day. After the viral cold, they began having 2-5 bowel movements per day. The first bowel movement appeared brown, which is normal. In the afternoon, they had watery stools containing curds, slightly green in color.Doctor's answer:
Small babies are generally not recommended to take medicine. Your baby might have diarrhea caused by catching a cold. The weather is hot now, and babies often kick off their blankets at night, so it's important to prevent their stomach from getting cold. Before bed, you can tuck your baby's shirt into their pants to avoid catching a cold. You can also apply a "Baby Magic Patch" for diarrhea. If your baby starts having diarrhea, you can apply it right away.
