Patient's question:
Doctor, good: A six-month-old baby has been suffering from diarrhea since birth until three months. At 100 days, they took infant Jianpi San and Montmorillonite powder, and their stool improved for more than a month. Now, they are experiencing diarrhea again, with frothy stools. What could be the reason? How should it be treated? Is it related to the baby drinking formula within the first two hours after birth?Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding this baby's condition, it is important to pay attention to whether there is lactose intolerance or cow's milk protein allergy. Some babies have lactose intolerance and may experience diarrhea after drinking breast milk or cow's milk. There are also babies who are allergic to their mother's breast milk or cow's milk, which can also cause diarrhea.Suggestions: It is recommended to first give the baby oral lactase and continue breastfeeding. Observe the diarrhea condition. If necessary, a cow's milk protein allergy test may be required.
