Question
Why does a four-month-old baby keep having loose stools, sometimes with small pieces?
Answer
Infant diarrhea may be related to viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in climate, excessive temperature differences, or increased intestinal peristalsis after catching a cold. It is recommended to further check the regularity of stool. Treatment for indigestion can include oral administration of pediatric compound pancreatin powder and Bishen, with a one-hour interval between the two medications. If it’s enteritis, additional pediatric Lishao should be taken. Apply Dinggui Er belly button patches, pay attention to abdominal warmth, increase water intake, and prevent dehydration.
