Question
The newborn is 35 days old and has been having diarrhea 10 times a day, with watery stools, for over 20 days. However, it does not affect breastfeeding.
Answer
Physiological diarrhea occurs when the food given to the child exceeds their tolerance, causing diarrhea, but it is neither caused by infection nor indigestion. There is no need for medication. Parents only need to strengthen care, such as frequently changing diapers and cleaning the buttocks, to prevent infections.
