How should we deal with infant and child diarrhea?

Patient's question:

My baby is 5 months and 12 days old. 10 days ago, she ate two Mimi Ai and had mild diarrhea. After stopping the medication, she consumed steamed egg yolk with bone oil and bone oil-cooked porridge, and has been having diarrhea ever since. She has been treated with Biqu.

Doctor's answer:

The main reasons for infant and young child diarrhea are as follows:
1. Digestive disorders – Primarily due to improper diet and unreasonable feeding. Examples include overeating, excessive intake of high-protein, high-fat, coarse, and difficult-to-digest foods, as well as consuming too much raw or cold food, which can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and result in diarrhea.
Hello! First, it is necessary to test the child's stool to check for intestinal infections. Since intestinal infections are common, appropriate anti-infection treatment is required. If no infection is found, it may be considered a simple digestive function issue. In such cases, oral probiotics can be taken to regulate digestive function. It is not a password to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa.
