How to treat diarrhea in a 67-day-old baby

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. The baby has been taking medicine for a week. Although it's not as much as before, every time the baby has green stool. How should a 67-day-old baby with diarrhea be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Your checkup report shows the presence of blood and inflammation, which requires medication treatment. For your condition, you can start with a course of antibiotics and probiotics to carefully monitor the situation. If it doesn’t improve, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination. For parents, it’s important to help your child receive timely treatment for the illness. Additionally, pay attention to a balanced diet for your baby—avoid over-nourishing or malnutrition.
