Patient's question:
My daughter is four months old. She started having diarrhea since yesterday. Last night, I used an abdominal pain patch on her stomach. I don't know if it had any effect on her. This morning, she had about three bowel movements again. I really don't know what medicine to give her. Could you please suggest a better solution?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are two reasons for infant and young child diarrhea: one is indigestion, mainly due to improper diet and unreasonable feeding. For example, overeating, or giving too much high-protein, high-fat, rough, and hard-to-digest food, as well as eating too much raw and cold food, can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and cause diarrhea. The other is gastrointestinal infection, such as contamination of food or feeding utensils by bacteria or viruses, which can cause gastrointestinal inflammation and lead to diarrhea.
