What to do if a three-month-old baby has diarrhea

We all know that babies have weak resistance, so they are easily infected by bacteria or viruses, which can lead to some diseases. For example, some babies may have diarrhea due to catching a cold or eating the wrong food. So, if a three-month-old baby has diarrhea, how should it be treated? Next, let me tell you what we should do if a three-month-old baby has diarrhea.

There are three types of infant diarrhea: food poisoning type, wind-cold type, damp-heat type and spleen deficiency type. Only by distinguishing different symptoms and choosing diet therapy can you achieve the expected results.

Diarrhea caused by food poisoning has symptoms such as abdominal distension and pain, crying and making noise before diarrhea, sour and smelly stool like egg drop soup, bad breath, and loss of appetite. The following dietary therapy can be used:

Shepherd's purse soup: Take 30 grams of fresh shepherd's purse, add 200 ml of water, simmer until 50 ml is reduced, take it all at once, 2 to 3 times a day.

Apple soup: Wash an apple, chop it with the skin, add 250 ml of water and a small amount of salt, boil it into soup and drink it instead of tea. Suitable for children under 1 year old. Those older than 1 year old can eat applesauce.

Wind-cold type diarrhea is characterized by loose, foamy, light-colored, less odorous stools, intestinal rumbling and abdominal pain, or accompanied by fever, nasal congestion and runny nose. The following dietary therapy can be used: Ginger tea: Take 3 grams each of green tea and dried ginger, put them in a porcelain cup, brew with 150 ml of boiling water, cover and soak in warm water for 10 minutes and drink as tea at will.

Glutinous rice intestinal strengthening soup: 30 grams of glutinous rice (slightly fried), 15 grams of yam, cook them into porridge together, add a little pepper powder and appropriate amount of white sugar after it is cooked.

Damp-heat type diarrhea has symptoms such as watery stools with undigested food, grass green or yellow stools, a small amount of mucus, and yellow urine. The following dietary therapy can be used:

Black plum soup: add 10 black plums to 500 ml of water and boil them into a soup. Add brown sugar as needed and drink it instead of tea. Take it several times a day.

Orange and Jujube Tea: Take 10 red dates, wash and dry them, and fry them in an iron pan until they are charred. Take 10 grams of clean orange peel, put the two ingredients together in a thermos cup, soak them in boiling water for 10 minutes, and drink them as tea after meals, divided into two doses a day.

Spleen deficiency diarrhea sometimes stops, or lasts for a long time, stool is thin or contains white milk lumps, diarrhea after eating, pale complexion and other symptoms, the following diet therapy can be used:

Carrot soup: Take 250 grams of fresh carrots, wash them, cut them into pieces with the skin on, put them into a pot, add appropriate amount of water and fry them until they are soft, remove the residue and take the juice. Drink it 2 to 3 times a day.

Chestnut soup: Take 3 to 5 chestnuts, peel and mash them, add appropriate amount of water and cook into a paste, then add appropriate amount of sugar for seasoning.

The above is what I want to share with you today about the dietary therapy for diarrhea in three-month-old babies. I hope my sharing will be helpful to you. Because babies have relatively poor physical fitness, do not give them medicine casually when they are unwell, otherwise, the medicine may become a greater burden on their body.
