Patient's question:
Symptom Description: The baby has 4 to 5 bowel movements a day.Treatment history and effectiveness: We have not treated it!
What kind of help is needed: Will it affect the baby's weight gain? When can the stomach be bound so that it doesn't have so many bowel movements?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby has diarrhea, it's important to provide timely liquid supplementation to prevent dehydration. You can appropriately supplement fluids for your baby, such as breast milk, rice water, or physiological saline...2. Give your baby a rich diet to prevent malnutrition. Follow the principle of small amounts and frequent meals, ensuring at least six feedings per day. Breastfed babies should continue to breastfeed, but the mother's diet should be lower in fat, as otherwise, it may worsen the diarrhea.
When a baby has diarrhea, it's important to consider whether it's caused by catching a cold or wind, or by improper diet leading to gastroenteritis. It's recommended to drink more warm water, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, and follow a light and easily digestible diet. It is also suggested to take oxytetracycline, diphenoxylate, and enzyme tablets, as well as Marmelat for treatment!
