A three-month-old baby has had diarrhea four times this morning. How should it be treated?

Patient's question:

A three-month-old baby has diarrhea, and has had four episodes this morning. The fourth time, the stool contained mucus with blood streaks. Probiotics have been given. What solutions are needed? The baby's mental state is okay, not crying, and can be amused.

Doctor's answer:

From the baby's course of illness, the current recurrence of bowel movements is still related to the absorption function. Previously, there were symptoms of nausea and vomiting, and now it is proven that the absorption function has not fully returned to normal. In fact, although the baby is not experiencing nausea or vomiting now, it is still recommended to wait until the intestines are completely healed before taking grape calcium iron zinc, as it may cause certain gastrointestinal side effects. Now that the baby has normal deep sleep, good spirits, and no nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, medication may not be necessary for the time being. It will naturally improve in a few days. During this period, pay attention to preventing colds.
