Question
What are the symptoms of a five-month-old baby with diarrhea and dehydration?
Answer
If diarrhea is not effectively treated, it can lead to dehydration, possibly causing electrolyte imbalances. For such a young baby, it’s recommended to feed breast milk in small, frequent amounts to prevent dehydration. Symptoms of dehydration in a baby may include deep-set eyes and a lack of energy.
