When a baby feels uncomfortable in their stomach, they may experience symptoms such as diarrhea. It is necessary for parents to observe their babies' feces, which can help understand their digestive system and detect any abnormal symptoms in a timely manner. Many parents find that their one year old baby has diarrhea that is yellow and smelly, which is an abnormality. So, what's going on with a one year old baby having diarrhea, yellow and smelly?
A baby over one year old has yellow and smelly diarrhea, which is caused by intestinal inflammation based on the color and taste of the stool. The occurrence of intestinal inflammation is mainly caused by the baby's stomach being exposed to cold. Of course, if parents feed their one year old baby unclean food, causing the baby to be infected with bacteria, it can also lead to the appearance of yellow and smelly stool.
To alleviate diarrhea in a one year old baby, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by indigestion. If it is caused by the baby's stomach catching a cold, parents can apply hot compress to the baby's stomach area or give the baby oral medication to help treat the discomfort symptoms in the stomach area. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen observation of the baby.
It is necessary to give babies plenty of water. Drinking plenty of water can prevent dehydration caused by diarrhea in babies and also help with digestion. Because the baby's belly is not very comfortable, it is important to cover it with some towels to enhance the warmth of the baby's belly area.
