Patient's question:
My baby started having watery diarrhea since five days ago, and now it has been two months, and it's still the same. The baby's poop is yellow and watery. Passing gas is watery too. There's also water when straining during bowel movements. Because my other baby was the same, and it improved after half a month. What should I do if the baby has watery diarrhea twice a day?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if this situation occurs, the first thing to consider is the possibility of indigestion. You can go to the hospital to have a stool test done. If the stool test is normal, then it should be considered that it is due to breast milk diarrhea. Generally, if a child has indigestion, oral triple live bacteria can be used for treatment. If it is caused by breast milk diarrhea, adding complementary foods can significantly improve the condition.
