Patient's question:
My child is five and a half months old and has been breastfed since birth. Before five months, she had good bowel movements. Starting from the day she was introduced to millet porridge soup, she began having diarrhea. I used Smecta and Dinggui umbilical patches, but they didn't seem to work very well. It has been ten days now, and she has been having diarrhea every time she finishes feeding, about five times a day. Could you please advise on how to handle this? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
You can burn one end of a garlic clove with the skin on, then boil it with half a bowl of water. Add an appropriate amount of sugar and drink the soup. Do this once a day, and it usually takes two or three days to aid digestion and stop diarrhea.The issue of infant diarrhea has always troubled parents. When treating this condition, it's advisable to consider general treatment methods. Only by using professional approaches can parents help children recover from the illness as quickly as possible, avoiding any impact on their growth and development. Therefore, it is essential for parents to seek prompt treatment for their children when they fall ill.
