Question
My baby has been experiencing diarrhea with undigested stool. How can this be alleviated? The baby is seven months old. The detailed condition and consultation purpose are as follows: diarrhea with undigested stool, the onset of this illness and the duration are 5 days, currently in good general condition with no medical history.
Answer
There are many causes of diarrhea, including but not limited to improper diet, feeding issues, allergic factors, prolonged diarrhea, or large amounts of diarrhea each time. Once diarrhea occurs, antibiotics should not be used arbitrarily but should first understand the cause and take appropriate measures. For babies with diarrhea, it is important to follow the principles of preventing dehydration, correcting dehydration, continuing to eat, and using medication reasonably. The main approach is primarily oral rehydration.
