Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if a newborn who just turned forty days old has diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
If the baby is breastfed, diarrhea should be considered as breast milk diarrhea, which is normal. As the baby's digestive system matures, it will gradually produce pasty stools. Especially after adding complementary foods, the stool will gradually become solid. The child's symptoms may be caused by infection-induced fever. It is recommended to treat it promptly with oral antibiotics, such as Amoxicillin, Vitamin C, and Naproxen.
