Patient's question:
What causes a baby to have diarrhea all the time? My baby is just twenty days old, but she has been having diarrhea for almost half a month. Sometimes her stool has bubbles, a fishy smell, or an acidic odor. It also occasionally turns green and has mucus. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Newborn diarrhea. It is believed that newborns have a weak spleen and stomach, and their spleen and stomach are not adapted to external foods such as formula. Additionally, if the formula is fed too thick or too cold, it can cause indigestion and diarrhea. It is best to let the child be exclusively breastfed, and only use formula when breastfeeding is insufficient. Now, diarrhea can be treated by giving children probiotics and Domperidone oral liquid, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis in children and have a certain therapeutic effect.
