8-month-old infant with diarrhea and low-grade fever

Patient's question:

On July 31st, I first noticed a slight fever, around 37.4°C, with intermittent improvement and accompanied by diarrhea. I didn't have a bowel movement at night, but I had 5 to 8 times during the day. I went to a rural clinic and took Mamei Ai and had an enema.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, baby diarrhea is often caused by cold, breast milk diarrhea, viral infection, enteritis, or dysbiosis. Attention should be paid to reasonable feeding, ensuring the hygiene of the baby's milk intake, and avoiding cold. Simethicone can be taken, and children's umbilical patches can be used for symptomatic treatment. If necessary, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine stool examination to confirm and treat the condition.
