Question
How should I treat my baby’s diarrhea, which has occurred five or six times a day? My baby has been experiencing this condition for two days now, with diarrhea five or six times a day and the stool is green. What was the previous treatment situation and effectiveness? Please help me quickly, as this is a case of nausea and vomiting with diarrhea occurring five or six times a day.
Answer
If a baby has diarrhea five or six times a day, this is indicative of nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting (diarrhea) is a common symptom characterized by significantly lower frequency of bowel movements than usual, thin stools with increased water content, daily stool volume less than 200g, or containing undigested food, pus, or mucus. Diarrhea often accompanies symptoms such as urgent bowel movements, anal discomfort, and changes in urination. Diarrhea can be classified into acute and chronic types. Acute nausea and vomiting have an abrupt onset and the course lasts for 2 to 3 weeks.
