Question
The baby has had diarrhea for a month, starting around May 29th this year. We have visited many hospitals, but the cause has not been identified. The baby has diarrhea every day, at least 6-7 times a day. We have been to children’s hospitals, Tongren Hospital multiple times, and even seen an elderly Chinese medicine doctor.
Answer
There are many possible causes for a baby’s diarrhea, including indigestion, gastroenteritis, intestinal flora imbalance, abdominal cold, or improper diet. It is recommended to undergo a comprehensive examination at a hospital to determine the cause and take symptomatic medication accordingly. If the diarrhea is purely due to indigestion, medications such as Mamy Love, Simeta, or Montmorillonite powder can be taken to regulate the condition. At the same time, it is important to keep the baby warm and avoid irritating foods.
