Question
My child, who is 6 months old, has diarrhea 1 to 2 times a day during the day but not at night. What should I do? Previous treatment and effectiveness: I have used belly button plasters and am seeking help. I would like to ask what medication can be taken.
Answer
Considering your situation, it seems that your baby is suffering from nausea and vomiting due to dyspepsia, as infants’ gastrointestinal functions are not yet fully developed and are prone to recurrence of dyspepsia. I suggest giving your baby probiotics and intestinal health supplements, drinking plenty of water, eating light and easy-to-digest foods, avoiding extremely cold, hard, and spicy irritant foods, eating in small portions but more frequently, preventing overeating, and being mindful of staying warm to avoid catching a cold, especially in the abdominal area.
