Patient's question:
The baby is three and a half months old and has diarrhea. The bowel movements are watery with curd-like particles. Yesterday, they took medicine, and today the number of bowel movements has decreased, but they are still a bit green and foamy. The baby is not drinking formula milk well. How should I treat the diarrhea for a three and a half month old baby?Doctor's answer:
These symptoms may be caused by indigestion due to the baby's gastrointestinal function. It is recommended to focus on oral medication for the baby while paying attention to preventing abdominal cold and avoiding exposure to cold. Give the baby more water and do not make the milk too concentrated. For parents, it is important to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness. Additionally, the baby's daily diet should also be balanced, avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
