Question

「The baby is seven months old and has been discovered to have black green diarrhea for the past week. It’s quite loose, and in addition, he has runny, sticky mucus. I’m not sure what this is, what should I do?」

Answer

「Hello, based on the symptoms you’ve described, your baby may be suffering from dyspepsia, enteritis, or diarrhea caused by catching a cold. Firstly, it’s important to determine the cause. If the baby’s condition is relatively stable, you can give him some probiotics like Mommy Love or Bifidobacterium Live Bacteria preparations, or take intestinal health supplements. At the same time, you can also administer cephalosporin-type anti-inflammatory drugs. If the diarrhea is severe and medication is ineffective, immediate intravenous drip therapy is required. Additionally, make sure the baby drinks plenty of warm water and receives appropriate abdominal massage to help alleviate symptoms.」
