Question
My baby went to visit relatives today and may have eaten undercooked or unsuitable food, resulting in diarrhea and loose stools, but not watery. I would like to know how to treat it at home.
Answer
Babies’ digestive systems are not fully matured, and their nervous regulatory functions are not well-developed. Quickly introducing new foods, changing the type of diet, or suddenly switching formulas can all exceed the digestive tract’s capacity, leading to disordered digestion and causing vomiting. This could also be due to changes in weather or improper care. Boil some lotus seeds with some dried tangerine peel, as lotus seeds are helpful in stopping diarrhea.
