Question
My 11-month-old baby has had diarrhea for several days, and the medication hasn’t helped. The smell and consistency of the stool are different from usual. What could be the possible causes? The baby is in good condition otherwise, with good appetite, but started having diarrhea symptoms after eating kiwi five or six days ago. What methods can be used to treat it?
Answer
It is suspected that the baby’s diarrhea may be due to indigestion caused by eating unsuitable food. When children eat fruit, they should pay attention to moderation. It is recommended to treat the symptoms, and the condition should improve quickly. At the same time, it is important to replenish fluids and avoid eating cold drinks, spicy foods, and other easily irritant foods. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish the baby a speedy recovery.
