How to Handle a 7-Month-Old Baby with Diarrhea and Yellow, Reduced Urine?

Question

The child has been crying continuously and doesn’t eat much. What should be done if a 7-month-old baby has diarrhea and the urine is less and yellow?

Answer

Consider the possibility of poor stomach digestion and it is suggested to feed the baby in small, frequent amounts. If necessary, consult a pediatrician specializing in gastroenterology. Dry vomiting in infants may be due to a functional defect in the lower esophageal sphincter, leading to the reflux of gastric juice or bile into the esophagus. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination and diagnosis before treatment. In severe cases, consider fluid supplementation, and pay attention to drinking more water to maintain electrolyte balance.
