It is better to treat infant diarrhea according to its cause. For diarrhea caused by gastroenteritis, patients often experience abdominal pain and can take smectite powder for relief. If the diarrhea is due to indigestion, patients may take probiotics orally for treatment. If the aforementioned treatments are ineffective, patients are advised to consider adjunctive therapies such as acupuncture.
