Question

The baby has diarrhea with watery yellow stools and some milk residue. Sometimes it’s better, and sometimes it’s irregular. What’s going on?

Answer

Infant diarrhea is generally related to viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in climate, large temperature differences, and cold exposure leading to increased intestinal peristalsis. It is recommended to further check the stool routine. Treatment for indigestion can include taking infant complex pancreatin powder and Biqui, with a one-hour interval between the two medications. If it’s enteritis, additional infant Lishen should be taken. Apply Dinggui Er navel sticker to the navel. Pay attention to abdominal warmth, increase water intake, prevent dehydration, and the mother should try to avoid eating extremely cold, spicy, and greasy foods.
