Patient's question:
A 8-month-old baby has diarrhea, having 5 bowel movements a day. The baby is breastfed. What should I do? The baby is crying excessively and the anus is particularly red.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to check if the stool test indicates indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether a cold may have caused intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye and Simida can be taken. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Drink more water. If supplementary foods are being introduced, pause or reduce the amount added. Gradually resume adding foods once symptoms improve. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
