Question
My baby has been having diarrhea for 3 days. For the first two days, it was watery, and today it’s more like tofu brain consistency. There’s also some bloating. What kind of assistance do I need?
Answer
Diarrhea in infants can be caused by viral or bacterial infections, changes in climate, catching a cold, and other factors. It is recommended to check the baby’s stool regularly. If it’s due to indigestion, oral probiotics can be taken; if it’s enteritis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should also be administered. At the same time, ensure abdominal warmth, increase fluid intake, and prevent dehydration.
