Question
My baby is 3 months old and weighs 11 kg. He has been suffering from dyspeptic diarrhea for 5 days, and the medication hasn’t helped. He has diarrhea 7 times a day. What are some effective ways to help him recover quickly?
Answer
When a child experiences dyspeptic diarrhea again, the first thing parents should do is collect a stool sample and send it to the hospital for examination as soon as possible within two hours to determine whether the cause is an infectious factor (such as bacterial, viral, or fungal infection) or a non-infectious factor (such as food intolerance, weather changes, or other complications). Infectious factors usually require targeted treatment, while non-infectious factors may necessitate dietary or environmental adjustments, along with symptomatic treatment.
