Patient's question:
My baby has been having diarrhea recently, not only is the frequency of bowel movements high but there are also some bubbles. How should I deal with excessive bubbles in infant diarrhea? Since the child is too young, I don't want to give him too much medicine, but I feel quite worried about so many bubbles, afraid it might turn into a more serious condition if it's not handled properly.Doctor's answer:
The baby is experiencing an increase in bowel movements again, and there is also a recurrence of foamy stool. In this case, it is mainly due to cold dampness diarrhea or localized cold exposure leading to poor absorption. When the stool appears foamy again, you can try giving the baby some refined herbal medications, such as Xiao'er Zhi Xie Ling Granules or probiotics. I will administer treatment shortly. It is important to enhance nutrition on a daily basis.
