Question
What should I do if my 80-day-old baby has diarrhea? They’ve taken medicine and had injections before, but now they’re having diarrhea again, with watery stools and foam. Previous treatment and effects: They’ve had injections and taken medicine. What kind of help do I need? Please tell me what I should do to make my baby feel better?
Answer
Infants’ digestive systems are not fully developed, making them prone to recurring digestive system disorders. When the body’s defense function decreases or when intestinal flora imbalance leads to extraintestinal infections or artificial feeding, it can cause diarrhea in babies. For infants with mild vomiting, breastfeeding can continue. If artificial feeding is necessary, for babies under six months old, you can feed them with an equal amount of rice porridge or water to dilute milk or other formula for two days, then resume normal eating. If needed, you can go to the hospital for intravenous fluid therapy to maintain the balance of digestive tract electrolytes. Wishing your baby a healthy recovery!
