What should I do if a three-month-old baby has indigestion and diarrhea?

Patient's question:

3 Breastfeeding, rare bowel movements with frothy stool, laboratory tests indicate indigestion and an added white blood cell count. Taking Amoxicillin for three days led to a day without a bowel movement, making it difficult to defecate, poor appetite, and the stool contains particles.
What kind of help is needed: What should be done? Is medication necessary? What kind of medication? Are there non-medication methods?

Doctor's answer:

Actually, there's no need to worry too much. As long as your child is in good spirits and eating normally, you don't need to make a fuss. Which child wouldn't act this way? Just make a few minor adjustments, and it'll be fine. Eating less and more frequently is a big reason for poor digestion, mostly because you're feeding them too much. As for the foam, it's a bit of inflammation. You can take Montmorillonite clay and Cephalosporin for anti-inflammation. Actually, you don't have to take medication either. Just stop breastfeeding for a while, and switch to formula instead.
