Patient's question:
My baby is two and a half months old and has a bowel movement at the same time every day in the morning and evening. The stool is watery. Is this diarrhea? Is it normal? The hospital said it's due to poor digestion and gave some medicine. Please ask if the child is taking medicine and if it's still like this, is this a normal phenomenon?Doctor's answer:
Acute gastroenteritis is the most common intestinal disease. The main symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, watery stools, ranging from several times a day to as many as ten or even more, which significantly impacts health. It is recommended that you first focus on rest, consume light, warm, and easily digestible foods, avoid spicy and fried foods, and do not eat cold foods. Eating small, frequent meals is very important. Treatment is primarily based on the use of gastrointestinal motility drugs, such as Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian (Stomach Soothing Tablet) and Domperidone Tablets, among others. If further consultation is needed, feel free to reach out. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health.
