How should I treat very loose stools in a three-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

From the middle of the second month, the baby's stools have been very loose, about four to five times a day. The baby is in good spirits and hasn't had a high fever. (There are some small bumps behind the ears and on the neck, but they are not serious.) The vaccination has been delayed, and when the doctor asked about the baby's stool condition, they said that because of diarrhea, the baby cannot take medicine. The baby has taken Mumei Ai Montmorillonite Powder, but it hasn't shown any effect. Now what should be done? How should the baby's stool be regulated? How should medicine be taken?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to carefully check the baby's stool to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether fever is causing the intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye and Simida can be recommended. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the interval for changing diapers. Allow the stomach and intestines to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary food is being provided, it should be temporarily stopped. Alternatively, the amount of supplementary food can be increased. Once the condition improves, gradually return to a normal diet. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest. The above suggestions are for the issue of "a three-month-old baby having very loose stools." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
