Question

Why does my baby have diarrhea with foam? He is four months old and sometimes vomits as well. What should I do? Is taking bifidobacterium probiotic capsules effective? What methods can prevent baby diarrhea? How has past treatment been effective?

Answer

Based on your description, if the baby does not have a fever or other symptoms, it may be due to a disorder in the digestive system. Such situations usually only require symptomatic treatment and enhanced daily care for improvement. It is recommended to adjust the baby’s diet appropriately, avoid overfeeding or feeding cold foods, and enhance abdominal warmth. For symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and abdominal pain, consider using pancreatin powder, lactase, intestinal probiotics, or bifidobacterium probiotic capsules. At the same time, you can try abdominal cold compresses or using umbilical cord stickers for the baby, as these methods can usually help the baby recover health. If the baby’s vomiting is severe, you can use attapulgite powder; if it is just dry heaving, you can supplement vitamin B. If the current bifidobacterium probiotic capsules are not effective, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor for a more appropriate treatment plan.
