How to deal with diarrhea in a four-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

The baby has been feeling slightly runny stools since the afternoon of the day before yesterday, and it has been like watery stools since yesterday afternoon. The elderly relatives said it's because I was out playing for too long, and when I fed the baby, I didn't discard the part that had already started to be low in fat, causing the baby to drink weak milk. I don't know if this view is correct or not? Anyway, the baby is still having runny stools and is a bit upset. I hope the doctor can provide some clarification.

Doctor's answer:

Child diarrhea, it is recommended to carefully check the stool test for indigestion or enteritis. Also pay attention to whether fever is causing intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, it is recommended to take oral Jianpi oral liquid, Smecta, etc. For severe cases, see a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the interval for changing diapers. Let the stomach and intestines rest. Drink more water. If supplementary food is being provided, it should be temporarily stopped. Or increase the provision of supplementary food. After recovery, gradually return to normal. Especially avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
