Question
My two-and-a-half-month-old baby has this kind of diarrhea again. Is it a sign of catching a cold? Do I need to give her medicine, or should I take her to the hospital for a check-up? She had diarrhea once before, and it got better later, but now it’s back again.
Answer
Generally speaking, abnormal baby stool is often caused by improper feeding or intestinal inflammation. Pay attention to moderate feeding and keep the diet light. You can take probiotics to nourish the intestinal flora for a few days. If there is nausea, vomiting, or purulent stools, it is recommended to have a routine stool test at the clinic.
