Patient's question:
My baby has had repeated diarrhea for over a month. I took her to the hospital for a check-up, but they found nothing wrong. After getting an injection, we came home, and she still has diarrhea. It has been about five or six days, and there has been no improvement at all. I urgently need a solution.Doctor's answer:
The digestive capacity of infants has certain limitations. If they consume food that exceeds their tolerance, diarrhea may occur. Due to differences in dietary habits, health conditions, and individual variations, some breast milk contains nutrients (primarily fat) that are more than what the infant needs. This can lead to infant diarrhea, also known as "physiological diarrhea." If the infant only exhibits increased bowel movements, good appetite, no vomiting, and no impact on growth and development, without other symptoms, it is not caused by an illness. After introducing complementary foods, bowel movements will gradually return to normal. There is no need for excessive concern.
