Question
A seven-month-old baby, breastfed, has been experiencing diarrhea since one month old, with bowel movements as frequent as five or six times a day, sometimes with severe symptoms. The symptoms recur after discontinuing medication, and the parent inquires about how to stop the baby’s diarrhea.
Answer
The baby’s condition may be due to intestinal dysfunction and indigestion, possibly accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dry heaves, and loss of appetite. It is recommended to ensure adequate rest, hydration, and the use of probiotics and digestive tonics for treatment, which may improve the situation.
