Question
How should newborn diarrhea be handled?
Answer
Newborn diarrhea may be caused by indigestion, enteritis, or catching a cold. First, it is important to determine the cause of the diarrhea. If the diarrhea is mild and the baby’s condition is good, probiotics or intestinal flora regulators can be administered, and antibiotics can be considered. If the diarrhea is severe and medication does not work, immediate intravenous fluid therapy is required.
