How to deal with diarrhea in a three-month-old child

Patient's question:

The child is 98 days old and has had diarrhea for nearly 20 days, with severe symptoms of having 4 to 5 bowel movements a day. Normally, it's 2 to 3 times. When mixed feeding for over two months, it was about 4 days per bowel movement. The stool was normal, but now it's yellow, watery, with milk curds, sometimes oily.,. I have taken probiotics and anti-diarrheal medication. I want to know what I should do.

Doctor's answer:

1. It may be that the baby has had a recurrence of gastrointestinal infection, leading to symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
2. You can conduct a detailed examination of the stool routine to speculate about the presence of bacterial or viral infections.
1. If it is a viral infection, you can focus on taking the current medication. At the same time, you can use an anti-diarrheal medication for enema.
2. In the current situation, it is not possible to administer the relevant vaccines. You need to wait until the stool returns to normal before considering vaccination.
