Question

My child has had abnormal diarrhea for the past two days, is drinking breast milk, and frequently passes smelly gas. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Not concerned, how to help: Want to know how much it disrupts the child.

Answer

The child’s condition should be due to a lack of intestinal probiotics, leading to an overgrowth of putrefactive bacteria, hence the frequent smelly flatulence. Guidance: It is recommended that parents appropriately supplement probiotics for the child and administer them directly. However, it is important to note that the water temperature for administration should be below 40 degrees so that the medication can be properly absorbed. High temperatures will kill the bacteria, reducing their effectiveness. Doctor’s Inquiry: Hope this helps you.
