Question
The baby is two months old and has been coughing for two months. After drinking a little homemade loquat syrup, the baby developed diarrhea, with greenish stool and bubbles. After taking probiotics for three days, the diarrhea still persists. What medicine should be taken?
Answer
The baby’s cough has been ongoing for two months and could be due to an upper respiratory infection or possibly diarrhea caused by licking milk. The stool contains bubbles. Based on the current situation, it is not recommended to use medication. It is advised to pay attention to dietary hygiene and perform anti-clockwise abdominal massage. At the same time, it is necessary to have the baby’s stool checked at a hospital and adjust medication accordingly. I suggest you take the child to the hospital for further examination to receive more professional advice. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should also be cautious about her diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
