Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How should I treat diarrhea in a six-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Babies with diarrhea need more nutrition. If the baby is breastfed, continue breastfeeding. For formula-fed babies, maintain the usual feeding method and feed them with yogurt appropriately: Yogurt has small curds, is easy to digest, stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, and has a bactericidal effect, making it suitable for infants and young children with frequent diarrhea. You can also give diarrhea-stricken babies carrot soup: Carrots are alkaline foods and contain pectin, which helps form stools and absorb bacteria and toxins. It is suitable for infant diarrhea.
