Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Also, how come breastfed babies have very loose stools?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by infantile diarrhea. When caring for a baby with diarrhea, follow the principle of eating small amounts frequently, starting with less and gradually increasing, and transitioning from thin to thick. Antibiotics, mucosal protectants, probiotics, traditional Chinese medicine, and other medications may be required. Your child may have high fever caused by acute gastroenteritis. In this case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then continue with sensitive antibiotics for antibacterial treatment.
