Question

My child is 2 months old and has recently had loose stools. I’m worried it might be diarrhea. What are the possible causes and how should it be handled?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, your child may be experiencing dyspepsia. It is recommended to try consuming lactase or probiotics to improve the intestinal flora, while also paying attention to your child’s eating speed and food chewing situation, avoiding excessive intake of cold food, and adopting a strategy of small and frequent meals. Your child should also eat more vegetables and reduce the intake of hard foods. If the above methods are ineffective, it is advisable to take your child to see a doctor for professional medical advice and treatment.
