Question
The baby has been crying and not eating much recently. How should you handle diarrhea in a 15-month-old baby?
Answer
Hello, considering the baby’s poor digestion, it is important to pay attention to their diet. I suggest taking some Chang Le Kang along with some Shen Ling Bai Zhu San and observe the results. Also, avoid eating cold and greasy foods. You can offer some millet congee or soup, which the baby likes. It might be caused by pediatric diarrhea. During the care of a diarrhea baby, just follow the principle of eating less, more frequent meals, starting from small amounts, and gradually increasing the consistency. Treatment may include antibiotics, mucosal protectants, probiotics, and traditional Chinese medicine.
