Question
How should one handle a 3-month-old baby’s diarrhea after drinking a mixture of orange juice and water?
Answer
For a three-month-old infant, whose gastrointestinal function is not fully developed, drinking orange juice may lead to imbalances in the intestinal flora and constipation. In this case, it is advisable to stop giving the baby orange juice and administer oral probiotics or bentonite powder to regulate the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, ensure that the baby consumes adequate water to aid digestion. If the condition does not improve within three days, it is immediate to take the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination and treatment.
