Question
Why does a 3-month-old baby have diarrhea?
Answer
It is recommended to use montmorillonite powder to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa, and to consume probiotics to adjust the intestinal microbiota. At the same time, attention should be paid to fluid replacement therapy to prevent dehydration. Symptoms usually improve after a few days. Constipation in babies may be caused by slow gastrointestinal motility, indigestion, or improper diet. Treatment can involve increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits, supplementing with B vitamins to promote intestinal movement. In severe cases, rectal suppositories can be used to aid defecation.
