Question
A four-month-old daughter is experiencing diarrhea symptoms, and the parents have already tried using belly ache patches, but the situation has not improved. The parents are seeking appropriate medication treatment or other effective methods.
Answer
Infant diarrhea can be caused by two main reasons: one is indigestion, usually due to improper eating habits, such as overeating or consuming unsuitable foods; the other is gastrointestinal infection, possibly due to contamination of food or feeding utensils with bacteria or viruses. It is recommended that parents first examine the baby’s diet, avoid overeating or consuming indigestible foods, and ensure the cleanliness of feeding utensils. If the symptoms persist, seek medical assistance to determine whether further medication treatment or examination is needed.
