Question
My baby has been experiencing diarrhea for the past few days, with yellow watery stools containing white and yellow granules resembling curds, and the buttocks have become broken. Even after giving the baby medication to treat diarrhea, it seems to be ineffective. I’m seeking help from new mothers!
Answer
The diarrhea caused by your baby’s indigestion may be related to improper diet. You should provide your baby with easily digestible foods such as formula milk, rice gruel, and thin porridge. When choosing formula milk, consider your baby’s diarrhea condition; if your baby is allergic to milk or vomiting, you may need to choose a special formula such as amino acid formula, partially hydrolyzed formula, or completely hydrolyzed formula. Moreover, foreign formula milk formulas are typically designed for foreign ethnic characteristics, and consuming these formulas may also lead to indigestion and diarrhea. Therefore, the diet should be tailored to your baby’s characteristics. It is recommended to administer probiotic medications appropriately. You can also use Qipi Pills (a traditional Chinese medicine). If your baby has skin problems due to dampness, it is appropriate to use talcum powder or calamine lotion.
