Question
The baby has been crying and not eating much lately. How should I care for a baby with diarrhea?
Answer
Considering that the baby may have indigestion, medication can usually be used for treatment, such as taking pediatric digestive granules and trying the product “Mama Love”. Pay attention not to let the child eat any cold or irritating foods, and eat more easily digestible foods. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the baby’s abdomen can also be helpful. If a child has bloody stools, it is often due to infectious diarrhea, which can cause damage to the intestinal mucosa by bacteria or toxins, leading to bleeding. In such cases, it is important to first have a stool test at the hospital to check for infection.
