What should I do if my seven-month-old baby has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

The week before, I ate noodles and pears, and started vomiting in the afternoon until the next morning. After that, I had diarrhea continuously, and now it has been 5 days with no improvement. I took her to get treated and was prescribed many medications, but they haven't worked.

Doctor's answer:

The baby may have an imbalance in the gastrointestinal flora. It is recommended to keep the baby's abdomen warm, take probiotics, and pay attention to the temperature and concentration of the formula. Pediatric diarrhea is a common and frequently occurring digestive disease characterized by diarrhea, caused by various etiologies. Treatment for this condition should involve differentiating between cold and heat, examining for deficiency or excess, promoting digestion and astringency, regulating the spleen and stomach, and treating according to the underlying cause. The child's diet must be balanced, with a preference for light and simple foods. Grains,, and various fruits and vegetables should all be consumed in moderation.
