Question
Why does a 5-and-a-half-month-old infant have a daily stool frequency of up to 7 or 8 times? The stool appears yellow and sticky, with small amounts each time. Parents are worried if this is normal and ask for dietary adjustments. What were the past treatment situations and outcomes? What kind of assistance are the parents hoping to receive? They urgently need to know how to handle this situation.
Answer
This situation may be due to indigestion or exposure to cold. It is recommended that parents administer symptomatic treatment to the child actively, considering the use of lactase tablets or probiotics, as well as montmorillonite powder. Additionally, attention should be paid to keeping warm, avoiding cold, and conducting regular stool tests or intravenous fluid replacement when necessary. Parents should not worry too much; the situation can improve.
