Question
The baby is 80 days old and has had an increase in bowel movements over the past two days. There were four times the day before and three times the day before yesterday. The stool is loose, yellow with bubbles, and not smelly, but has a watery consistency. The baby is in good spirits, not easily drowsy during the day, and sleeps well at night. Feeding is hurried, with an adequate supply of milk sometimes causing choking. Is it diarrhea? Do I need to take medicine? What kind of medicine should be used? Is it related to feeding? The baby has recently eaten more seafood and cold ingredients like cucumbers and tomatoes, and feeding has been irregular. Are there any non-medicinal methods? Thank you.
Answer
During diarrhea, milk intake should be limited, and if breast milk is insufficient, additional diluted milk can be added. To reduce gastrointestinal burden, oral dilute salt water and vitamin C can be taken. Medications like berberine and Lomotil can be used, but no anti-inflammatory medicine is needed for viral diarrhea. If diarrhea does not improve, with more than ten watery bowel movements, immediate medical attention should be sought. Danibao Baby probiotics can be given to improve intestinal function.
