Question
What should I do if my 7-month-old baby has diarrhea after drinking milk?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to take their child to the hospital for a stool examination to determine whether the cause of the diarrhea is dyspepsia or infection. If it’s just dyspepsia, some digestive aids like Changle Kang or MamiAi can be given to the child, along with anti-diarrheal medication such as Simeta. If there are infection symptoms, antibiotic treatment may be necessary. At the same time, the child’s diet should avoid cold and greasy foods, and some millet congee can be given. Since the child has a newborn disease, parents should take their child to the hospital promptly to avoid delaying treatment. For parents, providing enough care and attention to the child is very important, and they should do their best to help the child receive timely treatment.
