Question
Can newborns with diarrhea be treated with Symeta?
Answer
For newborn diarrhea, it is recommended to use medication only when the condition is severe. If the child has only mild diarrhea and is in good spirits, other non-pharmaceutical methods can be tried, such as adjusting the diet and increasing fluid intake. If medication is needed, consult a doctor and use the medication as prescribed. Additionally, keep the child’s anus clean to prevent diaper rash. As the child grows and can introduce complementary foods, the frequency of bowel movements usually increases, which is a normal phenomenon. After 4 months, complementary foods can be gradually introduced while observing the child’s bowel movements.
