Question
My child is now 8 months old and frequently has diarrhea, and it’s difficult for them to sleep at night, constantly crying. What should I do?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, your child may be experiencing diarrhea due to a cold or intestinal inflammation, which is quite common in infants. As for the nighttime crying, it might be related to calcium deficiency. I suggest first giving your child probiotics and attapulgite powder, which can help improve the symptoms of diarrhea. Once your child recovers, you can then administer a calcium gluconate oral solution to address the crying issue. I hope these suggestions are helpful, and wish your child a swift recovery.
