Patient's question:
The baby is about 10 and a half months old. A few days ago, they had diarrhea, and now it has improved but they don't want to eat. After drinking diluted formula milk, there are still white curd-like milk particles in their stool. Is it indigestion? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Besides improper feeding, gastrointestinal inflammation, overuse of antibiotics, cold weather, low immunity, and stomach chills can all cause digestive disorders. Therefore, when a baby shows symptoms of digestive disorder, it is important to identify the exact cause. Once the source of the problem is known, targeted treatment can be applied to alleviate the condition. Reduce food intake. If the digestive disorder is caused by the baby consuming indigestible foods, parents should avoid giving the baby too much food afterward. Instead, they can offer easily digestible foods such as porridge or paste. Additionally, greasy and fried foods should be consumed in moderation. Foods like cakes and cream should be avoided altogether. Get plenty of rest. Regardless of the cause of the digestive disorder, the baby needs to rest more. With adequate sleep, the baby can recover better and strengthen its immunity.
