Question
The baby has been experiencing diarrhea almost every day since birth, sometimes with milk residue or water in the stools. Although medications like Montmorillonite Powder, probiotics, and intestinal regulators have been tried, the effects have been not obvious. Parents want to know if there are ways to resolve the baby’s diarrhea issue and what precautions should be taken.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s symptoms may be due to dyspepsia. Since infants’ gastrointestinal functions are not fully developed, they are prone to dyspepsia. In addition to medication treatment, it is important to timely introduce complementary foods to meet the baby’s growth and development needs. It is recommended that parents give the baby oral probiotics and intestinal regulators, and encourage the baby to drink more warm water. Additionally, feeding the baby rice gruel, egg yolks, and other foods can help alleviate diarrhea. The baby’s diet should follow the principle of small meals frequently, avoiding overeating. Parents should also pay attention to the baby’s dietary hygiene and environmental cleanliness to prevent bacterial infections.
