Patient's question:
The baby has had diarrhea for more than a week. The hospital tested the stool and said it was due to catching a cold and indigestion. They have been taking medicine for a week now. Although it's not as much as before, every time they have green diarrhea. How should I treat the loose diarrhea of a two-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
The baby is only two and a half months old, and the gastrointestinal function has not yet developed properly. The intestinal peristalsis is irregular, making it easy to experience abdominal pain, constipation, and other gastrointestinal disorders again. First, you can give the baby some probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora, and then some anti-diarrheal medication. Both of these drugs have no side effects. Take one-third of a pack of the anti-diarrheal medication three times a day.For parents, it's important to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness. Additionally, the baby's daily diet should also be balanced in terms of nutrition. Avoid over-nourishing or malnutrition.
