At What Age Can Babies Use Pediatric Diarrhea Patches?

My 10-month-old baby has been experiencing diarrhea with yellow stools that contain water. At what age can babies use pediatric diarrhea patches? Experts recommend switching to probiotics and montmorillonite powder, while continuing breastfeeding without adding any solid foods. If the treatment is ineffective after 2 days, it’s advisable to consult a doctor. Diarrhea in babies is often due to catching a cold or poor gastrointestinal health. Prolonged diarrhea can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, so it’s important to check the baby’s stool for signs of dyspepsia or enteritis and be aware of any intestinal dysfunction caused by a cold. If it’s dyspepsia, oral administration of Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and montmorillonite powder is recommended. In severe cases, hospitalization for intravenous treatment may be necessary, extending the breastfeeding intervals to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest, drinking more water. If solid foods have been introduced, they should be temporarily halted or reduced; gradually resume after improvement. It’s especially important to avoid indigestible foods.
