What should I do if my baby has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Our child is only fifteen months old recently, and everything was fine before. But in the past two days, for some reason, there has been diarrhea. Although it's not very serious, we are quite worried about what to do if the baby has diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

This is generally caused by underdeveloped gastrointestinal function or improper diet, leading to diarrhea. It is recommended to take some digestive aid medication for treatment. However, this must be done under the guidance of a doctor and never use medication casually on children. Always use drugs suitable for infants. It is advised to visit the hospital's gastroenterology department to check if there are any gastrointestinal diseases and determine if the condition is caused by bacterial enteritis. This will help rule out the issue before proceeding with treatment.
