Question
The newborn started experiencing diarrhea after more than ten days, with the stool color changing from green to brown, accompanied by mucus. The hospital diagnosed it as dyspepsia and prescribed medication, but the diarrhea did not improve. Now, the stool is frothy. How should it be handled?
Answer
Diarrhea in newborns may be related to the underdeveloped digestive system. It is recommended to feed the baby warm food, in small portions, and frequently. Choose easily digestible foods. Consider using probiotics for treatment and combine it with abdominal massage. Continue to monitor the baby’s condition and adjust the treatment plan according to medical advice.
