Patient's question:
The child is now six months old. Today, for some reason, he has been having diarrhea and now seems listless and unwilling to eat. I’m hesitant to give him medicine. Could you please ask the doctor how to treat diarrhea in a six-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to the situation you described, the baby is relatively small and six months old. Currently, the baby has diarrhea. It is recommended that the mom take the child to see a doctor in a timely manner. The baby is currently lacking energy, as the poor spirits are caused by the diarrhea. The mom should pay attention to replenishing fluids for the baby. For now, avoid giving the baby milk due to diarrhea, and instead, you can give the baby thin porridge water. In cases of severe dehydration, additional fluids need to be added to the baby.
