How to Treat Baby Diarrhea?

Question

For the past few days, my child’s stools have been very pale and loose, sometimes like water, and about ten to fifteen times a day. I have been hospitalized for three days and all stool tests have been normal, but there is still no improvement. What methods can be used for treatment?

Answer

If the child exhibits symptoms of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, hospital treatment is required to alleviate dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. If the child is formula-fed, it may be related to lactose intolerance. It is recommended to prepare special diarrhea formula for infants with diarrhea and use probiotics to regulate intestinal flora to stop diarrhea. If the child is breastfed, it is recommended that the mother’s diet be light, nutritious, and easy to digest and avoid eating too much food temporarily. According to the speculation, the mother’s gastrointestinal function is not very good when breastfeeding, so the treatment for baby diarrhea should be ‘maternal-infant co-treatment’, which means all of this needs to be treated.
