Patient's question:
The child is now 5 months and 7 days old and has started having one bowel movement per day. After the viral cold, they began having 2-5 bowel movements per day. The first bowel movement appeared brown and was normal. In the afternoon, they had watery stools containing curds, with a slightly greenish tint.Doctor's answer:
Small babies are generally not recommended to take medicine. Your baby might be experiencing diarrhea due to catching a cold. The weather is hot now, and babies often kick off their blankets at night, which can lead to a cold in their abdomen. Before bed, you can tuck your baby's shirt into their pants to prevent them from getting cold. You can also apply a "Baby Magic Patch" to your baby. If your baby starts experiencing diarrhea, you can apply the patch immediately.
