Question

A 4-month-old baby has been suffering from persistent diarrhea for a week. Despite taking medication, the condition has not improved, and the baby experiences frequent diarrhea with a porridge-like consistency of stool.

Answer

It is recommended that parents ensure the baby’s abdominal warmth, provide plenty of water, and give probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora. At the same time, keep the baby’s skin clean, especially the cleanliness of the buttocks, to prevent infection. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to take the baby to the doctor promptly.
