Question
A 1-year-old child has loose stools with foam, and probiotics have been taken without effect. The complementary feeding mainly consists of white rice porridge, yam porridge, or rice noodles. Inquire about the possible causes of diarrhea and medication suggestions, as well as whether formula milk and complementary feeding can continue to be provided.
Answer
The child’s condition may be due to dyspepsia or catching a cold, and it is recommended to undergo a detailed examination. It could also be caused by irritable bowel syndrome or colorectal polyps. If the stools are not particularly frequent and it is not a complete diarrhea, the situation is relatively stable and there is no need to worry excessively.
