What kind of medicine should a baby with diarrhea eat?

Patient's question:

A five-month-old baby has been having frequent bowel movements recently, and all of them are curd-like. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your baby's stool contains curds, it may indicate poor digestion. It is recommended that the mother pay attention to feeding, following the principle of eating less and more frequently. For now, avoid adding complementary foods and give your baby probiotics like Bifidus or Lactobacillus to regulate their digestive function. Also, make sure to keep your baby's abdomen warm to prevent them from catching a cold. It is advisable to actively conduct a stool examination to determine the condition.
If the child is troubled by neonatal diseases, the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for medical treatment to avoid blindly using medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
