Patient's question:
My baby just turned one month old. Lately, her stomach hasn't been feeling well, especially when changing her diaper at night, she will have three or four consecutive episodes of very loose bowel movements accompanied by sounds. Is this diarrhea? Can she drink some light salt water? Will it be effective?Doctor's answer:
Through the situation you introduced above, it doesn't necessarily mean diarrhea. A one-month-old baby having three or four bowel movements a day is not necessarily diarrhea. What was the regular pattern of bowel movements like before? I suggest you should go to the hospital for a check-up and should not take medicine casually, even if it's salt water.
