Question
The 13-month-old boy has been having loose stools, about four to five times a day, and each time the stools may have a bit of a whitish color. He also has diarrhea immediately after eating. What should I do?
Answer
Based on the current symptoms, the main consideration is likely indigestion or poor dietary hygiene. It is recommended to drink more water, avoid eating cold or hard-to-digest foods, and consider taking probiotics and montmorillonite powder to nourish the intestines. If there are frequent vomiting episodes and the child’s mental state is not good, it should be timely to go to the hospital for intravenous fluid treatment.
