What is the reason for the baby's frequent diarrhea?

Patient's question:

My child is now exactly one year old and frequently has diarrhea, with about 5-6 episodes a day. The stool is loose. Around 7 months ago, I took her to the hospital, and there were no issues with her stool. This time, she had diarrhea for four days, and the stool test still showed no problems. The baby is not dehydrated and is in good spirits.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, the doctor's judgment about the cause of pediatric diarrhea is correct. For children, their reactions to formula can vary; some may experience constipation, some may have diarrhea, and some may be normal. Therefore, it is recommended to try changing the formula and also consider taking probiotics. The diarrhea may be caused by viral gastroenteritis, with symptoms such as watery stools. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding colds, temporarily restricting diet, drinking more water to prevent dehydration, and taking Ribavirin Granules and Beqii orally for relief.
