Question
A three-month-old baby is experiencing diarrhea, with an increase in bowel movements over the past two days, the stool color is yellow or green, and it contains water, sometimes with milk curd. The baby’s mental state is good. How should this be handled?
Answer
The baby may have indigestion or viral diarrhea. You can initially treat with probiotics and infant diarrhea adhesive patches, and appropriately increase the amount of milk. If the symptoms do not subside, it is necessary to go to the hospital for routine stool examination and formulate a treatment plan based on the examination results. At the same time, be aware that the diarrhea may be caused by unsuitable formula milk. Hope the child recovers soon.
