Answer

Diarrhea in children is often caused by a cold or indigestion. Since the baby’s stools are disorganized, it’s likely due to indigestion. It is recommended to pay attention to diet; if the diarrhea is severe, fasting may be necessary, and drinking some salted hot water can be beneficial. You can also take baby’s vitamins or probiotics. In general, give the child easily digestible foods such as rice porridge, soy milk, and milk. Medications that help with absorption, such as lactase, can be taken regularly.
