Patient's question:
My baby was always very healthy before, and he didn't get colds easily. But starting three days ago, he has been having diarrhea and not eating. I gave him medicine, but it hasn't helped. I'm worried that if this continues, he might become weak. So I'm consulting a doctor: How should I handle diarrhea in a 5-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you: Generally speaking, if a baby suddenly has diarrhea, it may be due to the baby's abdomen getting cold. It is generally recommended to take some medication to relieve it, and then pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. During this period, avoid giving the baby cold or cool foods, and pay attention to the hygiene of the food being consumed. You can also use a warm water bag to warm the stomach to alleviate the child's symptoms.
