Question
What should parents do if their newborn, born 26 days ago, develops diarrhea?
Answer
When a baby is 26 days old and shows symptoms of diarrhea, parents should pay attention to other symptoms, such as body temperature, appetite, and urine output. In most cases, baby diarrhea may be caused by changes in diet or sensitivity. It is recommended to give the baby appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor, such as probiotics (like Mamy Love) or anti-diarrheal drugs (like Simethicone). Additionally, it is important to ensure that the baby maintains good eating habits and gets enough sleep. By strengthening the baby’s physique, the frequency of illness can be reduced. For babies affected by newborn diseases, family members should take the child to the doctor as soon as possible to avoid misconceptions and receive timely symptomatic treatment. Parents should closely monitor their baby’s symptoms to help them receive timely treatment for their illness.
