Question

Our three-month-old baby has diarrhea three to four times a day, and it’s not too thick but a bit loose. The hospital has checked the stool and it’s normal. We are currently giving the baby probiotics. Should we also use other medications?

Answer

Hello, I’m delighted to assist you with your query. Based on your baby’s situation, although the frequency of bowel movements is high, routine stool tests have shown no abnormalities, so there’s no need for anti-inflammatory drugs or digestive medications. You can continue with the probiotics. Additionally, you can use heat therapy to alleviate the symptoms; there’s no need for special anti-inflammatory treatment. Wishing your baby a healthy growth.
