Question
Why does a baby have an abnormal number of diarrhea episodes in a day?
Answer
The causes of a baby’s diarrhea may include viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in weather, or extreme temperature differences leading to colds, which in turn increase intestinal peristalsis. It is recommended to further check the baby’s stool regularly. If it is caused by indigestion, you can administer pediatric complex pancreatin powder and Beiqi orally, with an interval of one hour between the two medications. If it is due to enteritis, additional pediatric Lilibao should be taken, and a warm abdominal patch should be applied for warmth. Also, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
