Question
My baby is four and a half months old and has been exclusively breastfed. Sudden diarrhea started, with yellow watery stool containing yellow granules, and ejected in a spray. The baby’s appetite and sleep are normal. The white blood cell count in the stool routine test was slightly elevated. After three days of intravenous treatment and oral medication, there was no improvement. I would like to know if there are any other methods to help my baby stop the diarrhea.
Answer
It is recommended to give the baby probiotics for a few days to help with digestion and absorption. Additionally, calcium and fish oil supplements can be given, and ensure the baby gets enough fluids. Continue breastfeeding, and it is also important for the mother’s emotional stability, as stress and anxiety may affect the baby’s bowel movements. I hope these suggestions can help your baby recover soon.
