Question
The baby is just over a month old and has had diarrhea with milk curds for ten days… For the past two days, the anus has been very red with red bumps around it. What should I do, or is there any treatment available?
Answer
Currently, if the baby’s stool contains milk curds, it is considered related to the impact of dyspepsia, and it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for a regular stool examination, use medication to help relieve the discomfort of red bumps around the anus, and pay attention to timely cleaning the anus after bowel movements, keeping it dry and hygienic. Additionally, consider that the child’s condition may be caused by intestinal flora imbalance, and probiotics can be given to adjust the intestines. After each bowel movement, wash the anus with clean water, dry it, and apply talcum powder.
