Question
My 10-month-old baby has just had diarrhea, with watery stools and sometimes vomiting. What’s going on? What should I do?
Answer
Diarrhea in a baby can be caused by enteritis or indigestion. It is advisable to take your baby to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. Before the baby sees a doctor, you can give them some children’s anti-diarrheal medication such as Simeta or MamiAi, and ensure they drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Additionally, you can apply Dinggui’er umbilical patches externally to relieve symptoms.
