Question
A 74-day-old baby has been experiencing diarrhea symptoms for over a week. After hospital examination, the diagnosis was a cold and indigestion. Although the baby has been taking medication for a week, the frequency of diarrhea has decreased, but each bowel movement still shows green color. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Hello! Based on your description, the baby is experiencing diarrhea. It is recommended to continue monitoring the baby’s condition and pay attention to dietary adjustments. If the baby’s stool and diet are normal, you can continue to observe. However, if there is frequent watery stool, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for examination and consider oral medication treatment. At the same time, breastfeeding mothers should be mindful of their own diet. Since babies have weaker resistance, they are prone to various diseases, so parents should take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner and avoid administering medication to the baby without professional guidance.
