Patient's question:
My son was born less than ten days ago, and he got infected. They said he has infectious diarrhea. These past few days, he has been having diarrhea all the time, and I'm really worried about him. I want to consult a doctor here about what to do with a newborn with infectious diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Neonatal infectious diarrhea is usually caused by viral infections. When this occurs, timely symptomatic treatment is necessary. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. If the diarrhea is severe, you can take Montmorillonite powder. During this period, it's important to supplement the baby with adequate fluids, such as a small amount of saline, to prevent dehydration in case of severe diarrhea.
