Question

My baby has been on formula since birth and is less than two months old. He’s had diarrhea for 5 or 6 days after switching formulas. He still has diarrhea after taking Mami Love. Can I change to goat milk formula? The baby’s tongue coating is white and thick, with frequent bowel movements. The buttocks are very red and sore. What medicine can be effective?

Answer

Disease Analysis: Hello! The thick white tongue coating indicates that the child has poor digestion. The red buttocks suggest the presence of diaper rash.

  1. You can try switching to goat milk formula.
  2. You can use Simethicone to stop diarrhea and protect the intestinal mucosa. The dosage needs to be higher for it to be effective, but there’s no need to worry about drug overdose because it is not absorbed in the intestines.
  3. You can use products like Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Pepsin hydrochloride oral solution to promote digestion.
  4. It is recommended to keep the baby warm while ensuring that the buttocks are not wrapped too tightly. When washing the buttocks, use water as much as possible. If using a cloth, do not rub but press gently, and be sure to be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate skin – if the baby cries excessively without reason, check if the buttock skin is red, as this may indicate discomfort. To prevent this diaper rash, you can also apply a layer of ointment like Tetracycline ointment or eye ointment after each cleaning. Also, make sure to change diapers in a timely manner and let them breathe by opening the diaper vents, avoiding ammonia released from the decomposition of urine and feces that can irritate delicate skin.
