Baby is seven and a half months old and has diarrhea six or seven times a day. What's going on?

Patient's question:

The baby is seven and a half months old and has had diarrhea six or seven times a day. Last week, she also had diarrhea for three or four days, and I applied cold compresses and changed her clothes. She felt nauseous and vomited, and was given formula milk. Recently, she has started having diarrhea again and has had it for three more days. I haven't given her any new solid food, and the day before yesterday, she ate half a cherry in a onesie. Her stomach shouldn't have been exposed to cold, so I don't know what's wrong.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it may be due to the baby's weak gastrointestinal function and indigestion caused by eating cherries, leading to nausea and vomiting. It is recommended to rub your hands until warm and apply a cold compress to the baby's abdomen. You can give the baby probiotics and carefully observe the situation. At the same time, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and avoid cold and raw foods in the diet. The above advice is for the question "How to deal with a 7-month-old baby having diarrhea six to seven times a day." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
