Question
I have recently experienced diarrhea, with a small amount of feces often leaking from the anus. Even after cleaning it up, it reappears shortly after. Experts, what could be the cause of this phenomenon? The duration of this symptom is about 1 to 2 days.
Answer
Pediatric diarrhea is common in infants and toddlers under 2 years old, and it can easily lead to depletion of Qi and Yin after onset, with severe cases potentially resulting in dangerous complications. If the symptoms persist without healing, it often leads to malnutrition, delayed growth and development, and malabsorption issues. Diarrhea is also known as dyspepsia. It is recommended to massage the baby’s abdomen and pay attention to care during the massage process. Feeding should be regular and in appropriate quantities, avoiding unclean food, and protecting the abdomen from cold. After each bowel movement, clean the anus with warm water, and maintain a habit of frequent breastfeeding.
