What should I do if my baby is three weeks old, weighs 11 kilograms, and has digestive problems with diarrhea?

Patient's question:

My baby is three weeks old and weighs 11 kilograms. She has had digestive problems and diarrhea for five days, and the medicine hasn't helped. She has a bowel movement seven times a day. Could you please consult a specialist doctor for some good and effective advice to help my baby get better quickly? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Nausea and Vomiting: After the child experiences nausea and vomiting again, the first thing parents should do is collect a stool sample and take it to the hospital as soon as possible, preferably within two hours, for a thorough examination to determine whether it is caused by infectious factors or non-infectious factors. Infectious factors include bacterial infections, viral infections, and fungal infections. Non-infectious factors may be due to inappropriate food intake, changes in weather, or other diseases accompanied by symptomatic nausea and vomiting.
