All of the above are moderate to severe diarrhea. In addition to being related to bacterial infection, they may be caused by the aggravation of mild diarrhea. If your baby has frequent bowel movements, he may have ten to dozens of bowel movements a day. The stool contains more water and occasionally contains mucus, which is yellow or yellow-green in color and has a fishy odor. If diapers are not changed in time, the skin on the buttocks will often be corroded, the epidermis will peel off and turn red. Loss of appetite, often accompanied by vomiting. Most cases have irregular low-grade fever, and severe cases have high fever. All of the above conditions may be caused by bacterial infection. Infectious diarrhea is mainly caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

Symptomatic advice: You should go to the hospital as soon as possible and take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Never take medicine on your own. There are four principles for treatment: give the gastrointestinal tract proper rest, control infection, correct water and electrolyte disorders, and provide good care.

How to care for a baby with diarrhea? The baby has diarrhea, is smelly and dirty, and keeps crying. How should parents take care of their babies at home? 1) Replenish fluids in time. When caring for babies with diarrhea, special attention should be paid to replenishing fluids in time to prevent dehydration due to excessive loss of water in the stool. You can feed water, rice soup, or juice at any time, and it is best to feed oral rehydration salts. Oral rehydration salts contain glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium citrate and other ingredients, which can replenish electrolytes and body fluids lost due to diarrhea and vomiting, and regulate the body's water, electrolyte and acid-base balance. The method of taking is to mix a small bag of oral rehydration salt purchased from the pharmacy with liquid to the required concentration according to the instructions, and take it several times a day. The amount to be taken should be based on the principle of "replenish as much as lost". You can also give your baby some carrot juice. Wash and chop 250 grams of fresh carrots, put them into a pot, add 3 grams of fine salt, and boil them in appropriate amount of water. Remove the residue and take the juice. Take it 2 to 3 times a day. It has the effect of strengthening the spleen, digesting food and stopping diarrhea. 2) Adjust the diet in time. The principle of dietary treatment for babies with diarrhea is: adjust the diet and continue eating. Babies who are breastfed should continue to be breastfed. If the baby is not breastfed, he or she can continue to be fed with the milk or milk products he or she consumes on a daily basis. Babies over 6 months old can continue to eat their usual diet, such as applesauce, 2 to 3 times a day, 30 to 60 grams each time; apple soup, wash and chop 1 apple, add 0.8 to 0.9 grams of salt, 5 grams of sugar, and 250 ml of water, boil the soup together and drink it in 2 to 3 times. Apples contain tannic acid, which has an antidiarrheal effect. You can also feed porridge, noodles, eggs, vegetables, etc. But it must be processed carefully to make it easy to digest. Avoid changing food or giving foods that are difficult to digest when diarrhea occurs. 3) Provide proper disinfection and hygiene care for babies with infectious diarrhea. Disinfection and isolation should be done, and eating utensils, water cups, and water bottles should be disinfected regularly. Wash and dry clothes frequently. After caring for the baby, your hands should be washed repeatedly before doing other things. 4) Protect your baby’s butt. As the frequency of bowel movements increases, the baby’s butt will be constantly contaminated. Moreover, the feces discharged during diarrhea are more irritating to the skin. Therefore, after each bowel movement, the mother should wash the baby's butt with warm water (try not to use soap or disinfectant). It is best to use soft and clean cotton diapers, and change them frequently to avoid diaper rash and urinary tract infection. If your baby's bottom gets red, leave it in the air to dry naturally, then apply some diaper rash cream. 5) Pay attention to observation and record. During the nursing process, you should pay attention to observe and record the changes in the frequency, properties, color and amount of stools to provide a basis for the doctor to formulate a treatment plan. You should also pay attention to observe the condition of the baby. If the baby's condition does not improve during the treatment and nursing at home, and there are frequent watery stools, obvious thirst, sunken eyes, significantly reduced urine volume and other signs of dehydration and symptoms such as high fever, the baby should be taken to the hospital for further treatment. 6) Don’t forget to keep the abdomen warm. Babies with diarrhea often suffer from abdominal pain due to intestinal spasms. Keeping the abdomen warm can relieve intestinal spasms and achieve the purpose of relieving pain. The baby's abdomen should be covered when sleeping to prevent cold; when the ambient temperature is too low, you can use a hot water bottle for hot compress, but the temperature should be controlled to avoid scalding the baby; drink some hot drinks or rub the baby's abdomen with warm hands. Please pay attention to observe whether your baby develops specific diarrhea after eating certain foods. If so, please see a doctor to rule out foodborne or allergic diseases.

Through the above understanding and introduction, I believe everyone can have a certain understanding of this kind of diarrhea in 2-month-old babies.

At the same time, I also hope that everyone can do more exercises suitable for themselves in daily life, and develop a habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
