Question
After adding complementary food for a month, a 7-month-old baby’s stool frequency has increased and become loose. Is this abnormal?
Answer
If the baby’s stool contains mucus and water, it may be a sign of infectious enterocolitis. It is recommended to check a regular stool test to determine the infection status, and you can take Montmorillonite powder, Poria and Alisma Oral Liquid, and Golden Bifidus to improve symptoms. At the same time, maintain adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration. If the test results show bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment may be necessary.
