Question
The two-month-old baby has been suffering from diarrhea for over 20 days, breastfed, with stools five to seven times a day that are yellow or green, often with froth or lumps, and sometimes the baby will have dry heaves. They have taken some anti-inflammatory and digestive medications for a while, but the effect is not very obvious. What should be done? I seek the advice of a doctor.
Answer
There are many possible causes for a baby’s diarrhea, such as indigestion, gastroenteritis, intestinal flora imbalance, abdominal cold, or improper diet. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine the exact cause and treat accordingly. For diarrhea symptoms caused by simple indigestion, you can try using medications such as Mamy Love, Simethicone, or attapulgite powder for adjustment. Pay attention to the baby’s warmth and care in daily life.
