Question
The baby is three and a half months old and has been experiencing diarrhea for several days. What should I do?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby may be suffering from indigestion. Indigestion is usually caused by the baby’s abdomen getting cold or improper feeding, such as coldness, loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea, sticky stools, milk with petals or foam, or greenish color. It is recommended that you take the baby to the hospital for a routine stool test, avoid the baby’s abdomen from getting cold, and keep the baby warm. Additionally, pay attention to feeding methods and consider giving the baby oral digestive and anti-diarrheal medications such as composite pancreatin and montmorillonite powder. At the same time, you can also give the baby some herbs that help with spleen health.
