Question
My baby has been experiencing diarrhea for over a week. After a hospital stool test, the diagnosis was a cold and dyspepsia. Although the frequency of diarrhea decreased after taking medication for a week, each bowel movement still results in greenish watery stools. How should I treat my baby’s diarrhea with watery stools?
Answer
Since babies are younger and their gastrointestinal function is not yet fully mature, they are prone to abdominal pain and vomiting. It is recommended to supplement probiotics to regulate the balance of intestinal flora. Probiotics have no side effects and are suitable for infants. Additionally, you can consider giving your baby a dispersible powder, 1/3 of a packet each time, three times a day. This medication also has no side effects and is suitable for newborns. In daily life, pay special attention to protecting your baby’s navel area to prevent catching a cold. These suggestions aim to help resolve your baby’s diarrhea with watery stools and hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby good health.
