Patient's question:
My baby is now 20 months old. Previously, her digestive system was always very good. About a month ago, she suddenly started having diarrhea, with two to three episodes per day, and her stool was like paste. Stool tests also showed everything was normal, but her condition has not improved.Could you please tell me if my baby's condition is considered diarrhea? Are there any methods to cure it? (Including home remedies.)
Doctor's answer:
Is the period of occurrence long? Did the baby catch a cold? If not, it might still be a digestive issue. There are many types of baby stool, such as watery stools, which can occur during cholera. It can also be like egg drop soup, commonly seen in rotavirus infection. If the baby's bowel movements increase in frequency or change in consistency, it can be considered diarrhea. It is recommended that you go to a regular and professional hospital for examination.
