Patient's question:
First: What is the reason for the crack at the baby's ear root?Second: The baby is one week old and has been having dark green poop for a while. The baby is in good spirits and is currently eating formula, food, and snacks. The poop is in the form of strips, sometimes a bit thick or thin at the end.
Treatment history and effectiveness: None
Desired help: What is the cause, what is happening, what precautions should be taken, and how should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
The fundamental reason for a baby's diarrhea is poor immune function, making them weak against viruses and bacteria. When the intestines are infected, it's easy for them to contract diarrhea. Additionally, if a baby eats too much, it can lead to indigestion, which may also cause diarrhea. Allergies, colds, and other conditions can also accompany diarrhea symptoms.During acute diarrhea, it's appropriate to temporarily withhold food for a short period, generally not exceeding 8 hours. Proper hydration is also necessary, along with eating small, frequent meals. If needed, the baby can be given foods that support digestion.
