Question
The 8-month-old baby has recently been experiencing loose stools. The baby’s mental state is good. How should it be treated? The effect of the anti-diarrheal powder is not significant. What should be done?
Answer
The baby may be suffering from vomiting due to dyspepsia. Since infants’ gastrointestinal function is not yet mature, they are prone to dyspepsia. It is recommended to give the baby probiotics and spore-forming live bacteria capsules, drink plenty of warm water, and have a diet that is light and easy to digest. Avoid extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods, eat in small portions and frequently, avoid overeating, and pay attention to staying warm to prevent catching a cold.
