Patient's question:
My baby is 5 months old and has developed diarrhea. The doctor checked at the hospital and said there are inflammatory rashes in the stool. After taking medicine for a few days, the frequency of bowel movements decreased, and then the medicine was stopped. But now, the baby still has 34 bowel movements per day, sometimes green in color, with particles and a small amount of foam. Should the baby continue taking medicine? The baby has been drinking formula milk.Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea can be caused by various factors: indigestion, bacterial infections, stomach flu, viral infections, food allergies, etc. It is important to go to the hospital to identify the cause first and then treat accordingly. Do not self-medicate. Based on experience, infant diarrhea is often due to indigestion. You can try giving your baby some goat milk to see if it helps. Goat milk has small molecules, making it easy to absorb, and it is more nutritious than cow's milk with a digestion rate as high as 95%.
