Question
The baby has watery stool and doesn’t feel well. Is the baby’s watery stool a sign of diarrhea?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be suffering from dyspepsia, but a confirmed diagnosis of diarrhea requires observation of stool frequency. It is recommended to take Simethicone and probiotics, and to drink plenty of water. If there is a suspicion of enteritis, a routine stool examination should be conducted to aid in diagnosis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered, and necessary intravenous fluid correction for electrolyte imbalance should be provided. Regular follow-ups should also be scheduled.
