Patient's question:
The baby went to visit relatives today and it's not clear if they ate something undercooked or the wrong thing, as they have a bit of diarrhea. The stool is somewhat loose but not watery, and they've had a few episodes of it.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None
Expected help: How to treat at home
Doctor's answer:
The digestive system of a baby has not yet matured, and the nervous system's regulatory functions are also incomplete. If a bottle-fed baby is introduced to complementary foods too quickly, or if there are sudden changes in diet or a switch in formula, which are beyond the digestive system's capacity, it can increase pressure on the digestive tract, leading to digestive disorders such as nausea and vomiting. It could also be caused by changes in climate or improper care. Cooking some lotus seed porridge for the baby, adding a little tangerine peel while cooking, can help stop diarrhea, as lotus seeds are effective for this purpose.
