Patient's question:
My baby has had repeated diarrhea for over a month. I took them to the hospital for a check-up, but there were no problems found. After getting an injection and going home, the diarrhea still persisted. It has been about five or six days with no improvement at all. I urgently need a solution.Doctor's answer:
Infants have certain limitations in their digestive capacity. If they consume food that exceeds their tolerance, diarrhea may occur. Due to differences in dietary habits, health conditions, and individual variations, some breast milk contains nutrients (primarily fat) in excess of what the infant needs, which can lead to diarrhea in the infant, also known as "physiological diarrhea." If the infant only exhibits increased bowel movements, good appetite, no vomiting, and no impact on growth and development without other symptoms, it is not caused by an illness. After the introduction of complementary foods, bowel movements will gradually return to normal, and there is no need for excessive concern.
