Question

An 11-month-old baby has been having diarrhea for four days, with small amounts each time, but the baby seems to strain without much result. Previous probiotics had little effect, and the baby is currently taking lactase and bifidobacteria supplements. The cause is unclear, and advice is sought on how to handle the situation.

Answer

Diarrhea in babies can be caused by factors such as colds, cold foods, intestinal inflammation, and indigestion. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, avoid cold exposure, and not consume cold foods. You can try abdominal cold compresses and take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication along with probiotics and pepsin granules for treatment.
