Question
My baby has been experiencing diarrhea, with two to three episodes a day. What could be the cause and how should it be treated?
Answer
Based on your description, the primary consideration is enteritis. Cases like your baby’s are usually caused by bacterial infections. You can take your baby to the hospital for a detailed stool examination. If it is confirmed to be enteritis, timely intravenous symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered to avoid complications. Pay attention to rest, give your baby plenty of warm water, and carefully observe your baby’s condition. Feed them in small amounts, more frequently, and at regular intervals; do not overfeed them at one time. Pay attention to keeping warm and prevent catching a cold.
