Patient's question:
Experienced moms, please help me. My baby is almost 5 months old, but recently he has been having diarrhea. When he has diarrhea, the stool is a bit green and watery. The baby also often cries and fusses. So, what should I do if my baby has an upset stomach and diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
The child is young, with a weak digestive system, and prone to diarrhea. For children under five with diarrhea, the Tuiji (nailing) method can be used to resolve it. The range extends from the waist to the coccyx, moving from bottom to top ten times, until it becomes reddish. For some types of diarrhea in the initial stage, it can be resolved with just one session. Early treatment is highly effective. For infants under three with loose and watery stools, you can rub both hands together until they are warm and gently place them over the infant's navel. Repeat this twenty-one times, and the stool will be well-formed by the same day.
