Question
The baby is seven and a half months old, and has had diarrhea for three months. The stools are loose, happening 3 to 5 times a day, sometimes with mucus but no blood. The baby looks normal and is in good spirits. I would like to ask if this could be intestinal inflammation? Is it physiological lactose intolerance? How should it be treated?
Answer
There may be some gastrointestinal inflammatory reactions. If it persists for a long time, it may lead to gut microbiota imbalance. At this point, there may be such symptoms. We can treat by taking appropriate probiotics orally, and also use some anti-diarrheal medications for treatment, but this is the current situation. This does not necessarily mean lactose intolerance. If the weight gain is normal, and urine is normal, then continue to observe and add food supplements in a timely manner.
