Patient's question:
My baby is 5 months old and has developed diarrhea. The doctor checked at the hospital and said there was inflammation in the stool. After taking medicine for a few days, the number of bowel movements decreased, but after stopping the medication, the baby still has 34 bowel movements per day, sometimes green in color, with particles and a small amount of foam. Should the baby continue taking medication? The baby has been drinking formula milk.Doctor's answer:
The causes of diarrhea are varied: indigestion, bacterial infection, stomach flu, viral infection, food allergies, etc. It is important to go to the hospital to identify the cause before treating the symptoms. Do not self-medicate. Based on experience, most cases of infant diarrhea are due to indigestion. You can try giving your baby some goat milk to see if it helps. Goat milk consists of small molecules, making it easy to absorb. It is also more nutritious than cow's milk, with a digestion rate as high as 95%.
