Question
A two-month and twenty-day-old baby averages one bowel movement every two hours. The stool is sometimes loose, sometimes contains more solid matter, and sometimes appears green. The baby has been taking probiotics. What should be done?
Answer
Based on the description, it is initially judged that the condition may be related to dyspepsia, gastrointestinal dysfunction, or enteritis. Since the baby’s digestive system is not fully matured, it is easily affected by external environments, diet, or pathogens. It is recommended to closely monitor the baby’s body temperature, mental state, and stool changes, and to ensure adequate hydration to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. After a detailed examination, targeted treatment should be received.
