Question
The baby is 15 days old, possibly has caught a cold, has had diarrhea for 3-4 days, no other symptoms, diarrhea 5-6 times a day, yellowish, with milk clumps. Should I be worried? Do I need to seek medical attention? Or what should I eat?
Answer
Traditional Chinese Medicine can be used for treatment, but it’s important to assess the severity of the baby’s diarrhea. It’s recommended to extend the feeding intervals to allow the stomach to rest appropriately. Drink plenty of water. If you have been adding new supplements, you should pause or reduce the addition of these supplements. Gradually improve and resume as needed. Especially avoid heavy foods that are too difficult for the baby to digest. It’s also suggested to pay more attention to rest and avoid spicy and stimulating foods in daily life.
