Patient's question:

My baby is a boy and he's only 6 days old. He poops every day, sometimes it's very runny, and his buttocks are all red. What should I do? I'm so worried. There's nothing, teach me what to do.

Doctor's answer:

Every time the baby has a bowel movement, use warm water to clean the anus, then dry it with a cotton cloth, and do not rub. Then apply a layer of bentonite powder on it. Applying it 3-4 times will make it better. However, if the baby has diarrhea, it is still necessary to find the cause, whether it is due to cold or other reasons.
