Question
What should I do if my baby has been having diarrhea since birth at 50 days old?
Answer
My baby has been experiencing diarrhea since birth at 50 days old. Initially, it was loose stools. After taking medications like Shuexiangning, Lactase, and Bifidus, there are now times when there is yellow water and sometimes green stools, with froth in the stool for the past two days. Yesterday, I noticed black particles in the stool. What could be the cause? What should I do? I suggest you first check the child’s regular stool test. If the child’s diarrhea is severe, it is essential to go to the hospital for a check-up. Pay special attention to whether there is an abnormal urine output; if so, this situation requires proactive rehydration. If the baby is formula-fed, pay attention to the quality of the formula. Additionally, be sure to sterilize cups and other eating utensils regularly to avoid bacterial infections that may cause diarrhea in young children.
