How to relieve baby's vomiting and diarrhea

The baby is the youngest child, and his health condition is the biggest concern for parents. But the younger the child, the more likely they are to develop disease problems.

It is suitable for babies with diarrhea to drink when the vomiting symptoms are not too serious.
