Patient's question:
Diarrhea for a week. Not sure if it's related to changing the formula brand. Always mixed breastfeeding with formula. One to two bottles of formula per day. Do I need to supplement fluids? How to supplement?Doctor's answer:
Newborns should not be given too much milk at first. If breast milk is insufficient, dilute milk (1 part water and 1 part milk) should be added. Do not be too rushed. Also, do not increase the milk amount too quickly to reduce the burden on the digestive system. Take a mixture of physiological saline, vitamin C, pepsin, and medium-chain fatty acids to help restore digestive function. Different types of diarrhea require different vitamins, such as berberine, furazolidone, and polymyxin, etc. If the diarrhea is caused by a virus, parents do not need to give the child anti-inflammatory drugs. If the stool does not improve after general treatment, watery diarrhea should exceed 10 times.
