Patient's question:
The baby is still young, has loose stools, and defecates 78 times a day, with a rumbling sound in the stomach. Please advise on how to treat the baby's loose stools for the past few days, as the baby is 5 months old.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the six-month-old baby has had diarrhea for four days. If this condition reappears, it is likely a symptom caused by catching a cold. It is recommended not to let the baby catch a cold, especially not to expose their abdomen to cold. If the baby is breastfed, the mother can also adjust her diet by eating less fruits, vegetables, and foods high in rough fiber. After each bowel movement, use warm water to clean and dry the buttocks to prevent recurrence of red buttocks.
