Question
My baby has had particularly loose stools for over twenty days after birth. Now, for the past half a month, she has 6 to 7 bowel movements a day. The doctor prescribed bowel cleansers, tannic acid protein, and probiotics, but there has been no effect for three days. I suspect the baby has caught a cold. What could be the possible causes and treatment methods?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the child may be suffering from dyspepsia, abdominal cold, or intestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to keep the child’s abdomen warm, avoid catching cold at night, and for mothers who are breastfeeding, try to avoid eating spicy foods. Additionally, it is suggested to drink more hot water. If the condition is severe, seek medical attention promptly for examination and symptomatic treatment.
