2. For the current situation, can you provide many treatment suggestions?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to carefully check if the condition is due to indigestion or intestinal inflammation in the stool. Also, pay attention to whether a cold may have caused intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Jianpi Koufuye and Simida should be taken. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the interval for changing diapers. Allow the stomach and intestines to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods are being provided, pause or adjust the timing of their introduction. Once the condition improves, gradually return to a normal routine. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest. If the test shows inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment is recommended. For fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken, and in severe cases, intravenous treatment is necessary. Also, pay attention to shortening the interval for changing diapers, allowing the stomach and intestines to rest, increasing fluid intake, and avoiding foods that are difficult to digest.
