Question
Can catching a cold lead to diarrhea in babies?
Answer
Babies may develop nausea and vomiting due to a cold, and it’s important to ensure they drink plenty of water, taking small, frequent sips. They can also consume rice porridge or oral rehydration salts to adjust their gastrointestinal function. If the baby has severe diarrhea, it’s necessary to conduct a stool test to identify the pathogenic bacteria, and then follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. The patient should maintain a light diet, keep a positive mood, avoid staying up late or oversleeping, ensure adequate sleep, and maintain an exercise routine. In daily life, it’s important to avoid overeating or eating too much at once, as well as binge drinking and eating.
