Question
A six-month-old baby has diarrhea four to five times a day, is in good spirits, breastfeeds, and has feces that appear like egg whites with occasional crystals. The past treatment and its effectiveness were that the doctor diagnosed indigestion and prescribed digestive medicine, but there was no improvement. The desired help is to know what is going on and whether medication can be avoided?
Answer
Based on the description, we initially judge that the baby’s condition is indigestion. We suggest using Dinggui Er navel sticker, or considering medications such as MamiAi, Siliang, Simida, etc. If formula feeding, when preparing the formula, it should be water first, followed by the milk powder, and you can add chrysanthemum crystals to the milk powder. Additionally, attention should be given to the baby’s daily care and feeding hygiene safety issues.
