Patient's question:
The baby has had diarrhea and poor appetite for a week, with it becoming severe in the last two days. How should I treat diarrhea in a 5-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
This is diarrhea caused by indigestion in the baby. Oral probiotics and powders were given to the baby. At the same time, it is necessary to practice eating small meals frequently. The baby's current absorption function is not yet fully developed, so it is essential to eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating at one time, as this makes it easier for the food to be absorbed. Children's bodies have weaker immunity, so they are prone to various diseases. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Avoid blindly giving medication to the baby.
