Question
After one week of birth, the baby has been having watery and granular stools. How should it be treated?
Answer
Diarrhea in babies may be caused by viral or bacterial infections, or abdominal cold, leading to a gastrointestinal dysfunction syndrome. It is advisable to undergo a regular stool examination to determine the cause. Treatment can include taking medications such as Mommy Love orJianpi San (tonic powder), along with daily abdominal massages. Additionally, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and stays warm.
