Question
My baby is only five months old and has always been healthy. However, over the past few days, my child has started experiencing diarrhea. It’s not severe, but how should I solve this problem?
Answer
When a baby reaches five months old and experiences diarrhea, it may be due to catching a cold. In this situation, it is appropriate to give the child half a packet of attapulgite powder. If the child is unwilling to eat it, you can mix it in the baby bottle. The appearance of diarrhea should never be delayed; taking medication is a crucial step. Medication is necessary to treat diarrhea. Therefore, when a baby has diarrhea, it is advisable to administer some probiotics, usually half a packet, and take a reduced dose.
