Question
Why does a one-and-a-half-year-old baby have diarrhea up to 3 to 5 times a day, and sometimes as many as 6 to 7 times?
Answer
Baby diarrhea is often related to viral or bacterial infections, changes in weather or temperature fluctuations, or increased intestinal peristalsis after catching a cold. It is recommended to further check the baby’s stool regularly. Treatment for dyspepsia can include oral pediatriccompound pancreatin powder (compound pancreatin powder) and Biqui, taken with an interval of one hour between doses. In case of enteritis, additional pediatric Lishao should be taken along with the use of a navel patch. Pay attention to abdominal warmth and drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
