Question
A seven-month-old baby at home has suddenly developed diarrhea symptoms, and there has been no consumption of improper food. In this situation, which medication should be chosen for treatment?
Answer
For baby diarrhea, it is not recommended to use medication, as the ingredients in antidiarrheal drugs may cause significant harm to the baby. It is suggested to relieve symptoms through dietary adjustments. You can offer the baby carrot porridge, or feed them mashed cooked carrots. Additionally, yams and beans also have astringent effects and can be prepared in a form suitable for baby consumption. It is preferable to consider dietary adjustments and choose easily digestible ingredients such as carrots and yam.
