The baby has diarrhea and shows signs of dehydration. What should be done?

Patient's question:

What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? I wonder if my baby has diarrhea with signs of dehydration, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If a child who has been drinking formula milk again develops diarrhea and shows signs of dehydration, it indicates that the child may also be allergic to the formula or not to it. If the diarrhea is severe and dehydration symptoms reappear, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for tests, and in some cases, intravenous hydration may be required. Regarding diaper changes, it is still recommended to continue breastfeeding, as the more the child suckles, the more they will drink.
