Question
How to handle newborn diarrhea?
Answer
Yellow, loose stools in newborns should not be immediately viewed as diarrhea. Please provide the baby’s feeding method, whether it’s breast milk, formula milk, or mixed feeding, as the stool shape can vary depending on the feeding method. If the baby’s weight has not decreased, they are drinking well, and there is no vomiting or other symptoms, medication is not necessary at this time. Just observe the baby’s condition. If the situation requires it, it is recommended to seek medical assistance for an accurate diagnosis. Under the guidance of a doctor, consider administering drugs such as Norfloxacin capsules, 654-2 tablets, and nitrate bismuth tablets for treatment, and perform regular stool tests to confirm the cause and treatment plan.
