Question
My baby is 12 days old and has been suffering from diarrhea for 20 days now. The frequency of bowel movements varies each day, sometimes up to six or seven times a day, and sometimes three or four times. The baby had a cold before and received intravenous treatment with amoxicillin, but there were no signs of diarrhea before or after the injection. Later, when the cold was not fully recovered, the baby was given ceftriaxone. The baby already had diarrhea symptoms before taking ceftriaxone, and now the tongue is white, and sometimes during the afternoon nap, the baby will suddenly make a whining sound.
Answer
Based on your description, the presence of milk curd in your baby’s stool may be due to dyspepsia. It is recommended that the mother pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid extremely cold, spicy, or irritating foods, gently massage the baby’s abdomen, keep warm, and give the baby probiotics orally.
