What should I do if my 5-month-old baby has diarrhea?
Answer
Diarrhea in babies is a common gastrointestinal disorder. The root cause is often a weak immune system, making them susceptible to viruses and bacteria. When the intestines are infected, diarrhea can easily occur. Additionally, overeating can lead to indigestion and consequently diarrhea. Allergies, fever, and other symptoms may also accompany diarrhea. It is advisable to reduce the baby’s food intake, eat smaller, more frequent meals, and consider using probiotics like PANDA or Heshengyuan when necessary. These can be effective. During the baby’s nap, slightly elevate the head to promote easier breathing and rest. Make sure the baby’s clothing and bedding are appropriate, and always pay attention to keeping the baby’s abdomen warm.
