What are the types of baby diarrhea?

1. Diarrhea due to spleen deficiency.

2. Weak spleen and stomach lead to diarrhea after eating. There are undigested food, milk lumps, etc. in the stool, but it is not smelly. The baby's face is yellow and he looks listless.

3. Diarrhea caused by indigestion. If the baby eats too much, it will cause abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and sour and smelly stools. Because excessive eating damages the spleen and stomach, the baby will not want to eat.

4. Diarrhea caused by wind and cold. External factors such as playing outside, not paying attention when taking a bath, or not putting on more clothes in time when the weather turns cold can cause the baby's abdomen to catch a cold, and the stools to be watery, foamy, or green. Some babies may have symptoms of fever.

5. Diarrhea due to spleen and kidney yang deficiency. This is what we often call "early morning diarrhea", where one has bowel movements at four or five in the morning, has diarrhea for a long time, has a pale complexion, is afraid of cold, has cold hands and feet, and feels listless.

6. Damp-heat diarrhea is characterized by urgent diarrhea, smelly stools, mucus in some cases, redness and swelling around the anus, loss of appetite, dry lips, and sometimes fever.

After the baby is born, it is inevitable that he will suffer from some illness. Parents should not be nervous. If the symptoms are not serious, they can go to the hospital to get some medicine for treatment. However, if the condition is serious, parents need to pay attention. Whether your baby has a cold or diarrhea, you should not use medicine blindly or believe in folk remedies. It is best to go to the hospital to see a doctor in time and ask the doctor for diagnosis.
