What should I do if my baby has 3-4 bowel movements a day?

Patient's question:

My child has had diarrhea for 1 month, with 3-4 bowel movements per day. Each time, the stool starts to form but ends up being loose. After 4 days of examination, the white blood cell count was 0-2. The previous medication, Meimai, was ineffective, so we switched to Montmorillonite Powder. Is this okay?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition involves abdominal pain, diarrhea, and an increased frequency of bowel movements. This is primarily considered to be caused by enteritis. If this has been ongoing for a long time, chronic colitis should also be taken into account. In addition to improper feeding, gastrointestinal inflammation, overuse of antibiotics, changes in weather, low immunity, and abdominal chills can all lead to digestive issues. Therefore, when a baby exhibits symptoms of digestive problems, it is important to determine the exact cause. Once the source of the illness is identified, it is possible to provide targeted treatment to alleviate the condition.
