Question
The child is now 5 months and 7 days old, starting to have a bowel movement once a day. After a viral cold, the child started having 2-5 bowel movements a day, with the first stool being brown and normal. By the afternoon, the stool turned watery, containing milk curds, and slightly green. Advice on suitable medication treatment is sought.
Answer
It is generally not recommended for babies to take medication, as diarrhea may be caused by catching a cold. Attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm, and products like ‘Baby One Patch Ling’ can be tried, while observing any changes in the condition.
