Patient's question:
The child of a friend has just been born for about five days, and now there is a phenomenon of diarrhea. His family is very worried about the child's health. Is it normal for a five-day-old baby to have diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
This is related to the diet of adults, and it may also be caused by poor digestion in the child. If the baby still has varying degrees of crying or a sense of abdominal distension, it could indicate a disruption in the gastrointestinal tract. Probiotics should be used for the baby to regulate the intestines. If the baby has diarrhea with curds, it is caused by poor digestion and it is necessary to improve the baby's dietary habits. It is recommended that you seek medical treatment promptly.
