Question
How should one handle diarrhea in a two-month-old baby?
Answer
Most cases of diarrhea are caused by infections, possibly due to eating spoiled food or being infected with norovirus, among other acute diseases. If the baby’s diarrhea is accompanied by a fever, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly and not to handle it at home on one’s own. For babies with weak constitutions who frequently experience diarrhea, it is recommended to strengthen their spleen and stomach functions. Foods like yam and adzuki beans can be consumed, and spinal massage can be performed to regulate the spleen and stomach functions, effectively stopping diarrhea after gastrointestinal function is restored.
