Patient's question:
Symptom Description: The baby has been like this for almost a week.History of Treatment and Effect: The baby has been given some medication, which has been somewhat effective.
Help Needed: Mainly, how to deal with the baby not drinking water at this stage.
Doctor's answer:
Stabilize the baby's emotions.If the baby has diarrhea, first stabilize the baby's emotions and don't let them cry out of fear, as this will worsen the condition. Then distract the baby to prevent them from feeling too uncomfortable.
Clean the baby's bottom promptly.
Diarrhea can cause the baby's bottom to become red and sore. Parents should clean the baby's bottom immediately after they have a bowel movement, preferably with warm water. Avoid rubbing with toilet paper, as it can be very painful for the baby. If the bottom is very red, applying some erythromycin ophthalmic ointment after cleaning and drying it can be helpful.
Give the baby some Mamiaoi.
Mamiaoi is rich in beneficial bacteria, which can effectively care for the baby's intestines and has a good anti-diarrheal effect. Mix 1–2 packets with warm water (around 40°C) daily to help alleviate the baby's diarrhea.
