Patient's question:
My baby doesn't know what's going on, and has been having diarrhea. It's between 3 to 6 times a day. Sometimes it's green, and sometimes it's foamy. His spirits are good, and his appetite is fine too. I'm asking, what should I do if a 6-month-old baby has diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
It should be due to problems with the gastrointestinal digestive ability. During normal times, don't overfeed the baby. If breastfeeding, the mother should avoid eating greasy or too sweet foods. You can massage the baby's abdomen, using your hand to massage in a clockwise direction. Pay attention to keeping warm, and ensure the cleanliness of the child's food and utensils. If breastfeeding, pay attention to the cleanliness of the breasts and avoid the mother coming into contact with spicy or irritating foods. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the child warm. You can take time to go to a hospital for a check-up.
