Question
A 5-month-old baby has been suffering from diarrhea and loss of appetite for a week, with the condition worsening in the later two days. How should it be treated?
Answer
This is diarrhea caused by dyspepsia in the baby. Consider giving the baby oral probiotics and powders, while also ensuring to practice small, frequent meals. The baby’s digestive function is not yet fully developed, so it is necessary to have small, frequent meals and not to overeat at one time, as this is difficult for absorption. Children have weaker immune systems, making them prone to various diseases. For parents, do not rush; it is important to take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly and not to administer medication to the baby blindly.
