Question
How should I deal with a one-year-old and two-month-old baby’s diarrhea?
Answer
If the baby is in good spirits and able to eat normally, oral rehydration salts can be given along with adequate water intake. If the baby is listless, has decreased appetite, and frequent diarrhea, it is recommended to undergo intravenous fluid therapy, and to use gastrointestinal mucosal protective agents and microbiological preparations. At the same time, it is important to keep the abdomen warm, provide warm food, and consider supplementing probiotics or easily digestible foods like congee.
