Question
My baby is 75 days old and has had diarrhea before. I had given her montmorillonite powder, and her bowel movements returned to normal after stopping the medication. However, she started having diarrhea again today. Can she take probiotics at the same time?
Answer
According to your description, the baby may have diarrhea due to various reasons such as viral or bacterial infections, or improper diet. It is recommended to identify the root cause of the diarrhea and treat it accordingly. If the baby shows moderate to severe dehydration symptoms, intravenous fluid replacement may be necessary. Meanwhile, maintaining breastfeeding is beneficial for the baby’s health, and probiotics and montmorillonite powder can be considered for treating diarrhea. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a speedy recovery!
