Question
My baby is 11 months old. Last night at around 7 AM, she had diarrhea, with a lot of bowel movements. Then at 10 AM and 1 PM, she had two more bowel movements, which were golden yellow and not very frequent. At 4 PM and almost 9 PM, she had two more bowel movements, which had turned green. She also vomited once around 11 PM. What could be the matter? Thank you.
Answer
This situation could be due to indigestion or catching a cold. It is recommended to keep the baby’s abdomen warm, eat small meals frequently, and avoid overfeeding. If needed, a stool test can be conducted for symptomatic treatment. The diarrhea and vomiting might be caused by improper diet or catching a cold leading to indigestion. Pay attention to controlling the diet, eating small meals frequently. If the condition worsens, as the baby is young with weaker resistance, dehydration can occur easily. It is advisable to seek medical consultation and treatment.
