Question
A 5-month-old baby is experiencing diarrhea with bowel movements resembling egg white, occurring approximately 5 to 6 times a day, but the baby does not show any discomfort. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Hello, if the baby’s diarrhea is severe, immediate medical assistance should be sought. If the diarrhea is mild, home care can be provided. During this time, ensure that the baby is adequately hydrated and the buttocks are kept dry. For diet, it is recommended to stick to light and easy-to-digest foods. Parents may consider giving the baby probiotic supplements, which can inhibit harmful bacteria in the intestines, restore intestinal flora balance, help rebuild the natural biological barrier of the intestines, protect intestinal health, and prevent other intestinal issues. Please refer to the above suggestions.
