Question

My eight-month-old baby has had diarrhea for several days and constipation on other days. Sometimes they can’t go to the bathroom and their skin breaks. They also have bad breath, and they’ve been taking probiotics. Why is this still happening?

Answer

Based on your description, your child may be suffering from dyspepsia. It is suggested to take probiotics and amoxicillin powder orally, ensure your child drinks plenty of water, keep their abdomen warm, and consider taking them to the hospital for further examination. At the same time, it is recommended to increase the intake of fruits and vegetables while reducing the consumption of greasy foods.
