Question
My two-month-old baby has been experiencing frequent diarrhea lately, sometimes up to four or five times a day, which is quite concerning for me. How should I handle diarrhea in a two-month-old baby?
Answer
When a two-month-old baby has diarrhea, some cases are physiological and can be managed by simply ensuring the baby is well-hydrated. If the symptoms are more severe, they often relate to viral infections, particularly when the baby is feeling cold, which can increase intestinal peristalsis. It is recommended to use some anti-diarrheal medications under a doctor’s guidance.
