Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

A six-month-old baby who has started eating solid foods has been having six to seven bowel movements a day without fever. This is not normal. Generally, bowel movements occur 1-2 times a day. It is likely caused by indigestion. It is recommended to have a stool test done at the hospital to check for indigestion. Medications that aid digestion, such as Jianpi San, Fu B liquid, or probiotics, can be taken in combination with Montmorillonite. It is also advised to temporarily stop providing solid foods.
