Patient's question:
My baby is exactly one year old and is still breastfeeding, with no plans to wean yet. Starting from six months, we began introducing solid foods, mainly porridge, rice, and soup, along with fruits. Breastfeeding occurs in the morning, afternoon, and at night when sleeping. Since eight months, the baby has been experiencing frequent diarrhea. The stool has been very variable in appearance. Now, the baby has diarrhea again, with watery or green, loose stools. This has been going on for two or three days.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is likely to be caused by enteritis. You can have your baby's stool tested for a routine check-up. Anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered, such as oral cefixime granules for suspension and Smecta. Make sure your baby drinks plenty of water and recovers gradually. Additionally, maintain hygiene in the anal area by rinsing with warm water to avoid the occurrence of eczema.
