Question
What should I do if my 7-month-old baby has persistent diarrhea and jaundice?
Answer
Consider that the baby may have poor gastric digestion. It is advisable to feed the baby in small, frequent amounts, and if necessary, consult a pediatrician specializing in the digestive system. Sometimes, dry vomiting in infants is due to a functional defect in the lower esophageal sphincter, causing gastroesophageal reflux of gastric juices or bile. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a detailed examination and diagnosis before treatment.
