Question
My baby is just over six months old, and lately, their bowel movements have started to increase in frequency. However, each time, the amount is small, and it’s very loose. Sometimes, there’s just a little water, yellow or yellow-green in color, mixed with a small amount of mucus. I hurriedly took them to the hospital.
Answer
Dietary restrictions for infants with diarrhea include eating easily digestible foods such as thin congee, soft noodles, minced fish, a small amount of vegetable puree, and fresh fruit juice until the diarrhea stops for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can try some herbal remedies, such as figs, black plum soup, fresh rhizome juice or lotus root juice, dried persimmon skin water added with brown sugar, steamed rice cakes with dried persimmon together eaten, and green beans and pepper ground together. It is recommended to adjust the dosage and frequency of administration according to the specific situation.
