Question
A three-month-old baby is experiencing diarrhea, with foamy stools, milk curds, and jelly-like substances. The baby is not crying. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
For a three-month-old baby experiencing diarrhea with milk curds in the stool, this is usually due to indigestion, possibly related to breastfeeding. It is recommended that the mother avoid spicy and irritating foods in her diet and ensure the baby receives adequate hydration. Adopting a small and frequent feeding schedule can help improve the situation. Additionally, if the condition does not improve significantly, consider using appropriate formula milk to promote the baby’s gastrointestinal absorption. If symptoms persist, it is advisable to take the baby to a pediatrician for regular stool checks and to choose the appropriate medication based on the results of the examination.
