Question

How can I deal with a four-month-old baby who frequently has diarrhea, sometimes with small pieces of stool?

Answer

Infant diarrhea may be caused by viral or bacterial infections, rapid changes in climate, large temperature differences, cold exposure, and increased intestinal peristalsis. It is recommended to further check the regularity of the stool. If it is caused by indigestion, oral administration of pediatric complex pancreatin powder and Biqui can be taken, with an interval of 1 hour between the two medications. If it is enteritis, additional pediatric Lishao should be taken. Apply Dinggui Er umbilical cord plasters to the navel, pay attention to abdominal warmth, and provide plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
