Question
A 6-month-old baby has diarrhea with loose stools and crying. The baby has previously received intravenous treatment in the hospital. Are there any other effective methods?
Answer
Infant diarrhea may be caused by viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in weather, extreme temperature differences, or increased intestinal motility after catching a cold. It is recommended to conduct further checks on the baby’s stool routine to determine the cause. If it is due to indigestion, probiotics and stomachic and digestive tablets can be taken orally, with an interval of one hour between the two medications. At the same time, ensure the baby’s feeding utensils are kept clean and disinfected at high temperatures daily. Pay attention to keeping the baby’s abdomen warm, avoiding catching a cold, and paying attention to daily diet.
