My baby often has diarrhea.

Patient's question:

My baby is now 1 and a half years old. Why does a normal baby have 3 to 5 bowel movements a day, while an abnormal baby has 6 to 7 bowel movements a day.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No previous treatment.
What kind of assistance is needed: Is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

Diarrhea in children is generally caused by viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in climate, significant temperature differences, or exposure to cold, which can lead to increased intestinal motility. It is recommended to conduct further detailed tests on the stool.
Suggestions: Treatment for digestive disorders can involve oral administration of Compound Pancreatin Powder for Children and Bequimex. These two medications should be taken with at least an hour interval between doses. If the case involves intestinal inflammation, additional medication such as Children's Libek should be added. Apply an umbilical patch (e.g., Fupitie) to the navel. Pay attention to preventing abdominal cold exposure and ensure adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
