How to handle diarrhea in newborns

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me how to handle diarrhea in newborn babies?

Doctor's answer:

The newborn's yellow, loose stools do not necessarily mean diarrhea. Whether your child is breastfed, formula-fed, or mixed-fed, the stool shape will differ. If the child is not losing weight, is eating well without vomiting or other accompanying symptoms, there is no need to take medication for now. Monitor the child's condition and seek medical attention if necessary to determine the appropriate treatment. Under the guidance of a local doctor, you can take Norfloxacin capsules, 654–2 tablets, and bismuth subnitrate tablets for treatment. If necessary, seek medical attention for a routine stool examination to confirm and treat the condition.
