Question

The baby’s stool appears bean curd flower-like, and this has happened before. I want to confirm whether it is a problem of indigestion and inquire about appropriate medication treatment.

Answer

Based on the information you provided, the baby may be experiencing indigestion. Indigestion is a common issue in infants, often accompanied by symptoms such as loss of appetite, poor digestion, and abdominal discomfort. It is recommended to give the baby medications such as Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactobacillus enzyme, or starch enzyme oral solution to promote digestion and absorption. Additionally, drinking a small amount of carrot water or diluted hawthorn water, or eating a small amount of carrot puree can also help alleviate symptoms. Moreover, clockwise massage around the baby’s navel can also help promote intestinal peristalsis and absorption. I hope the baby can grow up healthily and energetically!
