Question
Do newborns need to take medicine for diarrhea?
Answer
If a newborn has frequent diarrhea every day, it may be necessary to consider medication, while avoiding excessive cooling and ensuring adequate fluid intake. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid spicy foods, and temporarily reduce her diet. After the baby is over one month old, the frequency of bowel movements will significantly decrease, usually not exceeding three times a day. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to go to the hospital for further examination.
