Answer
For a four-month-old baby with diarrhea, immediate treatment is necessary. Frequent diarrhea can lead to red and swollen buttocks and infection, so the buttocks should be cleaned carefully after each bowel movement. Probiotics and Shen Ling Bai Zhu Powder can be considered for treatment, along with the application of red mold ointment or nappy cream to relieve symptoms. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a speedy recovery.
