Baby at Three Months, What to Do for Diarrhea with Watery Stools?

Question

My baby is three months old and has diarrhea with watery stools due to catching a cold. How should I handle this?

Answer

The baby’s condition may be caused by unclean diet, abdominal cold, or consumption of cold and raw foods, leading to acute colic and bacterial infection. The bloating around the navel might be due to colic. It is suggested to use Dinggui baby umbilical plaster, which may be effective, and at the same time, amoxicillin granules can be taken for anti-inflammatory treatment. Try cupping, abdominal cold compress, and massage as traditional Chinese medicine treatments to alleviate colic. Drink plenty of water, consume liquid foods, and pay attention to abdominal warmth and dietary hygiene.
