Patient's question:
The baby is still young, experiencing diarrhea with a bowel movement of 78 times a day, accompanied by a gurgling stomach. If the baby has been having diarrhea for a month, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the baby is six months old and has loose stools. Based on the information provided, the baby may be experiencing symptoms of indigestion. The duration of nausea and vomiting is relatively long, so I recommend taking the baby to the pediatric department of a hospital for a thorough stool examination. This will help identify the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.Since the baby is young and their digestive system is not fully developed, when introducing complementary foods, it is essential to follow certain guidelines and prioritize easily digestible diets. For babies exclusively breastfed, the mother should pay attention to avoiding spicy, cold, and irritating foods. It is also important to offer the baby warm water and ensure they stay warm.
