Feed the baby with easily digestible foods like porridge and noodles, and avoid giving them pastries high in fat and sugar. After each bowel movement, clean the baby's bottom thoroughly. Antibiotics such as cephalosporins, gentamicin, and Huanglian tablets can be used. Herbal preparations like Changyanin Granules can also be taken.
