Is your baby’s diarrhea getting better or worse?

Whether your baby’s diarrhea is getting better or worse needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Children are young and have a weak gastrointestinal tract, so if they are not fed properly, it is easy for them to develop a build-up of food. If the accumulation of food starts with constipation and gradually turns into diarrhea, it does not indicate a sign of improvement. It may be a symptom of heat nodules by-pass, i.e., the accumulation of dry stools and dregs in the intestines and the diarrhea of foul feces. However, if it is accompanied by improvement of appetite, good mental state, reduction of abdominal distension, softening of the abdomen, thinning of the tongue and disappearance of bad breath, it means that the condition has improved, and vice versa, it means that the condition has worsened. After diarrhea, the baby should be given probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract, and combined with digestive drugs, such as pediatric anti-feeding and appetizing granules. If the diarrhea is more serious and symptoms such as dehydration occur, the baby should be admitted to the hospital for rehydration to maintain the water-electrolyte balance. In addition, TCM massage has a good effect on pediatric diarrhea and can be used appropriately. In daily life, the diet of children should be adjusted to avoid excessive greasy and spicy food, and light and easily digestible food, such as fruits and vegetables, can be eaten several times to improve the accumulation of food.
