Question
My child has recently been experiencing diarrhea symptoms, with frequent occurrences and changes in stool consistency. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
Diarrhea can be caused by feeding methods, food composition, or weather changes, and may also be related to infections. In breastfed infants, loose stools may be normal, but in formula-fed infants, it may indicate diarrhea. The treatment for diarrhea depends on the cause, generally including adjusting diet, maintaining adequate fluid intake, and using medication when necessary. In some cases, further examination may be required to determine the cause.
