Question
A four-month-old baby is experiencing diarrhea, and the parents are seeking a medication-free solution. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
For a four-month-old baby, it is generally not recommended to use medication for diarrhea. If the baby has started on solid foods, it is advisable to pause for a while. During breastfeeding, the mother should avoid eating greasy and spicy foods to prevent affecting the quality of breast milk. At the same time, attention should be paid to the baby’s oral hygiene to prevent bacteria from entering the body through the mouth. Additionally, maintaining the baby’s appropriate warmth is necessary, but caution should be exercised to avoid burns.
