Question

My baby is five months old, and recently she has been experiencing some diarrhea, and it’s quite severe. As a new parent, I’m feeling quite overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. How should I treat my baby’s diarrhea?

Answer

Based on your description, your baby is currently suffering from diarrhea, and there can be many causes for it. At five months old, it’s often due to dietary issues. You can give your baby probiotics, which can adjust the gut flora and have no side effects. Additionally, it’s crucial to prevent dehydration during the process of your baby’s diarrhea. If the diarrhea is severe, you can administer a small amount of attapulgite powder to your baby.
