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 baby stop having constipation and not have bowel movements so frequently?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby has diarrhea, it's important to give them fluids promptly 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, frequent meals, eating at least 6 times a day. Breastfed babies should continue breastfeeding, but the mother's diet should be lower in fat, as otherwise, it may worsen the diarrhea.
When a baby has diarrhea, consider whether it is caused by catching a cold or wind, or by improper diet leading to gastroenteritis. It is recommended to drink more warm water, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, eat a light and easily digestible diet, and take oxytetracycline, diphenoxylate, and digestive enzyme tablets, as well as Mimi Ai for treatment!
