Question
My baby is 75 days old and has had diarrhea for the past few days. After taking the Montmorillonite powder, the stool returned to normal, but it started diarrhea again after stopping the medication. At the same time, the baby is taking probiotics. Is this okay?
Answer
Based on your description, the possible causes of your baby’s diarrhea may include viral, bacterial infections, or improper diet. It is recommended to identify the cause and treat accordingly. If your baby shows moderate to severe dehydration symptoms, intravenous fluid replacement may be necessary. In terms of feeding, it is suggested to continue breastfeeding and to administer probiotics and Montmorillonite powder orally. The above suggestions are for the question “What should I do if my 75-day-old baby has diarrhea and it returns after taking Montmorillonite powder?” I hope this helps and wish your baby a speedy recovery!
