Question
A baby who is nine days old has had watery stools for the past few days. They have already taken two meals of probiotics, but the watery stools continue. The baby sweats a lot during the afternoon nap and doesn’t urinate much at night.
Answer
Based on your description, the baby is currently experiencing loose watery stools. The probiotics have not improved the situation, suggesting that dyspepsia might be the cause. It is recommended that you take the baby to a local hospital for a detailed examination by a pediatrician to confirm the cause of the condition. If necessary, you can use Dinggui infant umbilical cord plaster and provide the baby with an appropriate amount of water. Consider giving the baby probiotic tablets or lactase tablets.
