What to Do When Your Baby Has Diarrhea?

Question

Lately, my baby has been very fussy, crying a lot, and showing symptoms of diarrhea with loose stools. What should I do?

Answer

Hello, if your baby is experiencing diarrhea again, it might be due to catching a cold. It is suggested that you apply abdominal cold compresses to your baby and ensure they stay warm. Additionally, you should take your baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for a follow-up visit and have a routine stool examination done to confirm the diagnosis. Also, be mindful to maintain a suitable indoor humidity and temperature, avoiding both overly dry and damp conditions.
