Question
Doctor, my daughter is two months old. This morning, upon waking up, I noticed she has some diarrhea, which might be due to her drinking a bit of formula last night, as she hasn’t had it before. How should I handle diarrhea in infants?
Answer
Considering your child may have gastrointestinal illness and indigestion. This condition is quite common in children as their gastrointestinal development is not yet complete. It is suggested that you give your child oral intestinal probiotics to help regulate the child’s intestinal function. Lactobacillus and Bacillus subtilis are commonly used options. You can continue to observe for a week, and usually, massaging your child’s belly with a warm towel can promote digestion.
