Question
A baby who is 18 days old and seven months in age has been experiencing continuous diarrhea for three days, along with dry vomiting, causing the baby to regurgitate the food they have eaten, and their body temperature has slightly risen to 37.7 degrees. The previous treatment and its effectiveness are as follows: The baby has been taking Montmorillonite powder for one day, and today they have started taking probiotics. What kind of help is needed: Is it because the baby is teething, or is it due to the fever?
Answer
The baby’s diarrhea accompanied by dry vomiting suggests that it might be due to indigestion. You can give the baby some probiotics to help regulate the intestines and promote digestion; at the same time, massage the baby’s lower abdomen to enhance intestinal peristalsis. It is advised that if the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay special attention to her diet, maintaining a light and non-greasy diet, avoiding foods that are hard to digest, as these may affect the baby’s gastrointestinal function and trigger indigestion and diarrhea. The baby’s gastrointestinal discomfort is closely related to the mother’s diet. If the baby feels discomfort in the stomach, avoid giving other foods and just maintain simple breastfeeding. Wishing the baby a quick recovery. Please note that the answer I provide is based on the format requirements and content you provided.
