Question
My baby’s stool has become loose and watery, yellow, with milk curds. The baby’s stomach always makes a rumbling sound during feeding, and then they have diarrhea, several times a day. Before this, the baby had thicker stool and only pooped once every three days. On the 26th, the baby ate a sugar pill and is on exclusive breastfeeding. The mother drank honey water on an empty stomach some days ago (due to constipation and dry stool during pregnancy) - I’m not sure if this is the cause. Previous rescue situations and effects: took Mommy Love. Desired assistance: Hello, is this considered diarrhea? What precautions should I take?
Answer
Firstly, consider testing the stool to determine if the baby’s condition is due to dyspepsia, enteritis, or intestinal dysfunction caused by fever. If it’s dyspepsia, it’s recommended to take oral Simethicone and Mommy Love, along with Dinggui’er navel sticker on the navel for treatment; if necessary, hospital pediatric intravenous treatment should be sought. Increase the frequency of changing diapers. Feed more water. If it’s caused by enteritis, oral ampicillin for anti-inflammatory treatment is recommended. If fever is present, oral ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever reduction. Hope this helps, and wish the baby a speedy recovery.
