How to treat infantile diarrhea

Patient's question:

The main symptom is diarrhea. As soon as the baby is breastfed, they have diarrhea, and their weight decreases significantly. The stool is yellow but a bit runny, with a slightly sour smell. I want to know if there are any effective treatments.

Doctor's answer:

Dietary Therapy: Reduce milk intake moderately and replace it with rice water, sugar, and salt; severe cases should fast for 8 to 24 hours. Intravenous fluid replacement is typically divided into three categories based on the severity of diarrhea: mild, moderate, and severe.
Mild: No signs of dehydration or toxicity, the child is in good spirits, and appetite is not significantly affected.
Moderate: Mild to moderate dehydration symptoms or mild toxicity symptoms.
Severe: Severe dehydration or obvious signs of toxicity, such as restlessness and fatigue, pale skin color.
This can regulate the gut microbiota. Once the function is restored, it will no longer emit an odor.
