Question
A 7-month-old baby has been experiencing continuous diarrhea symptoms for about 15 days, with about four bowel movements per day. The baby seems to have pain during bowel movements, and the stools are loose with coffee-colored mucus (similar to snot). After multiple checks, the results show ‘fat globules.’ What kind of disease might this be, and how should it be treated?
Answer
For infants with diarrhea, it is first important to ensure adequate hydration and to keep the baby warm to prevent the condition from worsening due to catching a cold. In terms of diet, it is recommended to adopt a small and frequent feeding schedule and choose easily digestible foods. If necessary, consider adding probiotics like Synbiotics to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, gently massaging the baby’s abdomen can also help relieve symptoms. If the situation does not improve, it is important to seek medical assistance promptly.
