Question
A ten-day-old baby has been suffering from persistent diarrhea, with 15 episodes since last night. The mother had consumed milk. Could this be related? How can we help the baby recover?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s diarrhea may be related to dyspepsia, which could be associated with the mother’s milk consumption. It is advised that the mother pay attention to her diet in the near future, avoiding spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, drinking more liquid broths, and keeping meals light. Consider administering medications like Simethicone and Mommy Love to the baby, as these have been proven to aid in recovery. The baby should be completely recovered within two days. Wishing the baby a healthy recovery and a happy new year.
