Can a four-month-old baby take medicine for diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Baby has diarrhea, the stomach always makes gurgling sounds, what should I do? Can I go to the hospital to buy medicine for the baby?

Doctor's answer:

First, consider whether acute gastroenteritis has occurred. It is necessary to continue monitoring the child's temperature, pay attention to the frequency of diarrhea, and check if the stool is normal. A 4-month-old child typically has more frequent bowel movements daily, as long as there is intake and output, it is considered normal. The child has not shown any other discomfort symptoms, so there is no need to worry. Normal feeding can be continued. Changes in the child's diet, mental state, or crying may indicate pathological symptoms. If you are still not reassured, you can take the child to the hospital for a check-up.
