Question
My baby is 7 and a half months old. He has had diarrhea for 5 days now (loose stools). I’m not sure why, but he started having diarrhea after eating some strawberries and tomatoes. (And I rode a motorcycle to take him for his vaccinations, but we were all wrapped up, especially his mouth, because it was hot and there was no wind.) It started with loose stools, and yesterday it also included food residue.
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your baby may have contracted enteritis. Enteritis is primarily caused by viruses, bacteria, and their metabolic products that stimulate the intestinal wall, leading to swelling and increased permeability of the intestinal mucosa. I suggest taking your child’s stool sample to the hospital for testing to see if there is a rotavirus infection. In terms of treatment, you can consider giving your baby Mommy Love, which is a probiotic medication that can directly supplement normal physiological flora, inhibit pathogenic bacteria, promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and inhibit the production and absorption of endotoxins in the intestines, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the imbalance of intestinal flora. Mommy Love is suitable for symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and indigestion caused by intestinal flora imbalance. I hope your baby recovers soon.
