Question

A baby has been suffering from chronic diarrhea for two months. Although the frequency of bowel movements has returned to normal, with one or two bowel movements a day, the stool alternates between thick and thin, a condition that has persisted for half a month. What should be done to treat the baby’s long-term diarrhea?

Answer

Hello! Based on the description of your baby’s condition, it seems to be caused by digestive issues. Since the frequency of bowel movements is mostly normal, it is recommended to slightly reduce the amount of food given to the baby to avoid overeating. At the same time, you can try giving the baby Wenspi Yang’er Granules (a traditional Chinese medicine) and ensure that the abdomen remains warm. For parents, it is important to actively assist in the child’s disease treatment and pay attention to the baby’s daily diet, maintaining a balanced nutrition and avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
