Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. How should I handle diarrhea in a 9-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea in children is classified into two categories based on its cause: infectious and non-infectious. It is a clinical syndrome primarily characterized by diarrhea, caused by multiple pathogens and factors. Generally, medication can still be administered. Commonly used treatments include oral medications such as Mimi Ai, Peifei Kang, and Lizhu Changle, which help control symptoms of infant diarrhea. It is best to avoid medication as much as possible, as the food should serve a dual purpose of both providing nutrition and stopping diarrhea.1. If the infant is breastfed, the feeding time per session can be shortened, allowing the baby to consume only the first half of the breast milk. This is because the first half of breast milk primarily contains protein, which is easier to digest, while the second half mainly contains fat, which is harder to digest. If the infant is formula-fed, whole-fat formula should not be given, and instead, skim milk should be used.
