Question
My baby is four months old and has been having diarrhea for over 10 days. I haven’t been eating any cold foods, and the child isn’t crying or fussing, and their spirits seem normal. Apart from the diarrhea, everything is as usual. They have an average of about six bowel movements a day. Please give me some timely advice.
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to assist you. This season, there are more cases of bacterial enteritis, which is related to unclean diet. Make sure to clean the nipples promptly after feeding formula, and it’s best to boil them with hot water. Before breastfeeding, clean the nipples thoroughly and then feed the baby. Drink plenty of light saltwater. Pay attention to the child’s mental state and urine output. If they appear to be in poor spirits or have reduced urine output, it indicates dehydration and requires intravenous fluid therapy.
