Question
A 50-plus-day-old infant, who usually has a lot of farts, suddenly developed frequent diarrhea symptoms today, with 10 episodes in the afternoon, and the stool was foamy. The baby is now over 70 days old and has been in good health, except for the mother and her frequent farts. Today’s diarrhea was particularly severe, with a foamy texture similar to water. No similar symptoms were found during a visit to the rural health clinic. The parents want to know what measures can be taken.
Answer
Based on the description, the primary consideration is that the infant may be suffering from dyspepsia, possibly caused by exposure to cold. It is recommended to administer lactase tablets, montmorillonite powder, vitamin B1 tablets, and infant digestive health powder. Pay attention to rest, give the baby plenty of warm water, and closely monitor their condition. Eat in small portions more frequently, at regular intervals and quantities, avoiding overeating. Keep warm and prevent catching a cold. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
