Can breast milk diarrhea heal itself without treatment?

Can breast milk diarrhea heal itself without treatment? In real life, there are many people who don't go to the hospital when they are sick, always thinking that they can heal themselves without treatment. This practice is not advisable, especially for some elderly people and infants, whose resistance is relatively weak. Once symptoms of the disease appear, they need to be treated in time. Breast milk diarrhea is a disease that often occurs in infants under 6 months old. So, can breast milk diarrhea heal itself without treatment?

Diarrhea caused by breastfeeding may be caused by the high content of prostaglandins in breast milk, which promotes the movement of small intestinal smooth muscles, increases the secretion of water and electrolytes, and produces loose stools. It may also be caused by the child's lactose intolerance and the lack of lactase in the body. Lactose intolerance is divided into primary and secondary types. The lead acetate method can be used to measure the amount of lactose in the child's feces for initial screening, and then confirmed by the rapid effect of a lactose-free diet.

Mild breast milk diarrhea can be cured without treatment. When the baby's body gradually adapts to the prostaglandins in breast milk, the lactase will gradually mature, the activity of the enzyme will increase, and it will gradually be able to decompose, digest and absorb lactose. The condition will gradually improve with the addition of complementary food. In terms of diet, 100 ml of fresh soy milk plus 5 grams of glucose can be fed instead of milk, and physiological diarrhea can be controlled.

Severe breast milk diarrhea should be treated. In this case, Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. For example, Jianpi Zhixie capsules can be used. The dosage varies according to age. The medicine in the capsule can be removed and taken after washing. Acupuncture can also be used for treatment, which is very effective.

In fact, breast milk diarrhea has obvious characteristics. This type of diarrhea usually causes 3-7 bowel movements a day. The stool is foamy and watery, has a special sour smell, is watery and slightly green, has foam and milk curds, and sometimes even has strips of transparent mucus. There is no fever during diarrhea, the baby does not have obvious pain or crying, the stool test shows no abnormal infection, the degree of diarrhea generally has no other symptoms, the baby is lively and has a good appetite, and although the diarrhea lasts for a long time, the weight gain is about 300 every 10 days, and it is protracted and unhealed.

Although breast milk diarrhea is not very serious, it is a common and frequently occurring disease in infants and young children. Regardless of the cause of the diarrhea and the severity of the disease, it must be treated promptly. If mild cases are not treated for a long time, they will develop into persistent diarrhea. Severe cases are accompanied by water and electrolyte disorders and must be sent to the hospital for treatment in time. Delays will put their lives in danger.
