Question
Last night, the baby started showing symptoms of diarrhea with clear stools. According to the parent’s description, the baby might have accidentally caught a cold after taking a bath at noon. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s diarrhea may be caused by exposure to wind and cold. Since infants have delicate bodies and their immune systems are not fully developed, when wind and cold pathogens invade the body, they may affect the gastrointestinal motility function, leading to intestinal flora imbalance and subsequently triggering diarrhea. It is recommended to use baby navel patches and give the baby pediatric 999 powder, while also reinforcing warmth measures.
