Question
My child is now 7 months old and always has poor digestion, a swollen stomach, diarrhea, up to 5-7 times a day. I’ve been giving medicine for 4 days, but there’s no improvement. What should I do?
Answer
Infantile diarrhea has two main causes: one is indigestion, which may be due to improper diet or feeding methods; the other is gastrointestinal infection, possibly caused by bacteria or viruses. Dietary therapy can be a method of treatment, such as taking activated charcoal garlic water. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and avoid self-medication to prevent the delay of the disease.
