Question
A five-month-old baby frequently excretes loose stool from the anus, and the situation has become more frequent in the past half month, with stools becoming as thin as water. This condition has been present since birth. What could be the cause? Is treatment necessary?
Answer
The frequent excretion of loose stool from the baby’s anus may be due to indigestion causing discomfort in the abdomen. It is recommended to use Bifidus to protect the infant’s intestinal mucosa, and in severe cases, you can use pediatric anti-diarrheal granules to stop diarrhea. There is no need to worry too much; ensure warmth, have a light diet, and reduce intake of fatty and greasy foods. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health!
