Doctor's answer:

In this season, if a baby has diarrhea, it's likely caused by rotavirus about 90% of the time. It's recommended to conduct a thorough stool examination to check for rotavirus. Dietary treatment involves temporarily stopping breastfeeding and switching to an anti-nausea and vomiting formula. You can also give Montmorillonite and MAMA E. Monitor the baby's temperature, stay hydrated, and consider oral rehydration salts if the diarrhea is severe. The most important thing about baby diarrhea is preventing dehydration. Additionally, when treating nausea and vomiting, avoid simply stopping diarrhea.
