Answer

Based on your description, the primary consideration is enteritis. It is suggested that in cases like your baby’s, it is mainly caused by bacterial infection. I recommend that you take your baby to the hospital for a detailed stool test. If it is confirmed to be enteritis, timely intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered to avoid missing the opportunity to treat the condition. Pay attention to rest, give your baby plenty of warm water, and carefully observe your baby’s overall condition. Feed milk in small quantities more frequently and at regular intervals; do not overfeed at one time. Pay attention to keeping warm and prevent catching a cold. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
