How to handle diarrhea in newborns

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. How should I handle diarrhea in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

According to the symptoms you mentioned, it is likely that the diarrhea is caused by gastroenteritis. Treatment should first involve giving the child medication such as Miamai and Smecta. Drink more water and pay attention to the condition. The baby has had diarrhea since birth, which is mainly caused by viral infection, leading to viral gastroenteritis.
Suggestions: Rest more, provide more fluids, and consider using Ribavirin and Montmorillonite powder for symptomatic and supportive therapy. If necessary, a stool routine test should be conducted, and treatment should be adjusted based on the test results.
