Question
The 3-month-old baby has diarrhea, with bowel movements over ten times a day, sometimes yellow curd-like and green bubble-like stools, mostly watery, and vomiting after taking medication. Although the baby remains lively and active, it is more difficult to take care of than before. The baby only drinks breast milk and has not been exposed to any other food. The baby has been diagnosed with catching a cold in the past, and now further assistance is needed.
Answer
Most cases of baby diarrhea are caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, possibly due to catching a cold or poor digestion. It is recommended to take symptomatic treatment, which may include giving the baby anti-diarrheal medication like Montmorillonite powder and probiotics, and closely monitor the condition. If the cause cannot be determined, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a follow-up visit and further examination for targeted treatment. Additionally, external medication patches may also help alleviate symptoms.
