What causes a baby to have diarrhea and what should be done?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my baby is a set of twins, two boys. I don't know why both children have diarrhea. I have given them medicine, but it doesn't work. They have been taking probiotics and other medications, but nothing helps. They are both feeding normally and are quite lively. I don't know why they have diarrhea. What should I do? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Children who are breastfed or mixed-fed are prone to experiencing physiological diarrhea again. In children with physiological diarrhea, their stools are loose but not excessive in quantity, and they have frequent bowel movements. These children are in good spirits, have good appetite, normal body temperature, and good deep sleep, with normal weight gain. Children with physiological diarrhea do not require treatment, but oral probiotics such as Lactobacillus or Clostridium butyricum can be administered. However, if the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid dehydration.
