She primarily drinks breast milk and also consumes commercially bought rice powder. Hello, is this related to breastfeeding? Is this situation urgent? What kind of assistance is needed: Please reply directly. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to try oral Shanzha Jianpi Koufuye and Huoxiang Chongji or Siwei Pishui Keli, and shorten the diaper changing interval time. Alternatively, dissolve the formula milk ratio to give the stomach and intestines a rest. Increase water intake and provide more supplementary foods. Once improved, gradually restore the full diet. Especially avoid indigestible foods. Of course, it is best to carefully check the stool to see if there may be a possibility of inflammation besides. Paying attention to diet is very important. Otherwise, the effect may not be good.
