Question

The baby is five and a half months old and has had diarrhea for over five days. The stools are green and mucous, and treatments with lactobacillus and Durabao have been ineffective. The baby is not crying or fussing and is in good spirits. How should it be treated?

Answer

Infant diarrhea may be caused by viral or bacterial infections, changes in climate, significant temperature differences, or exposure to cold. It is recommended to conduct further examination of the stool routine. Treatment may involve oral medication, and if it is enteritis, additional pediatric Lirbao may be necessary. At the same time, a belly button patch can be used, and attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm, as well as increasing fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
