Patient's question:
Eight-month-old baby has diarrhea, having 5 bowel movements a day, the baby is breastfed, what should I do,,Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to check if the stool test indicates indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether a cold may have caused intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Barberry Stomach Tonic) and Smecta can be taken. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods have been introduced, pause or reduce the amount of additional food. Gradually reintroduce food once symptoms improve. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest, especially during recovery.
