Question
How to treat diarrhea in a seven-month-old baby?
Answer
Diarrhea in a seven-month-old baby could be caused by lactose intolerance. During the initial stages of introducing complementary foods, intestinal discomfort may reappear, but it usually improves within a week. Be mindful not to feed too quickly. Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that it might be due to spleen deficiency. Children have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to illnesses. Parents should promptly take their child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment and avoid administering medication to the baby without medical guidance.
