Patient's question:
Sister-in-law's baby is just fifteen days old. Such a cute baby has diarrhea. The child's stool is like scrambled eggs. Seeing the baby in such distress, we feel very heartbroken. I'd like to know: What should I do if a sixteen-day-old baby has diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Rotavirus infection, timely fluid replacement is sufficient. It usually lasts for 3-8 days. Diarrhea is mainly considered to be caused by poor gastrointestinal digestion, improper diet, or exposure to cold and chill. For breastfed babies, mothers should pay attention to their diet, avoiding raw, cold, and irritating foods. Meals should be regular and well-balanced, with small, frequent meals. It is important to keep the abdomen warm and massage the abdomen during the day.
