Question

The five-month-old baby is suspected of having lactose intolerance. After taking lactase, the baby still has diarrhea. Trying lactose-free formula results in milk curd in the stool. At the same time, oral probiotics have also been ineffective. What is the solution?

Answer

Based on the illness description, it is recommended to continue breastfeeding if possible. If breastfeeding is not possible, consider using specialized baby diarrhea formula, which may alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort. At the same time, it is important to provide the baby with an adequate amount of warm water and to perform hygiene cleaning before and after meals.
