No need to worry. Seems like the start of Infection in your gut

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Seems like the start of Infection of your gut. Infection could be due to either bacteria or virus.

Most of the viral infections are self limiting , means they will become alright in 2-3 days and no medication is required . Just take plenty of fluids that's enough. But if it is a bacterial infection you require a course of Antibiotic medications.

My advise for you is wait for 2 days and see what happens. If problems persists then you need to consult your doctor and get an antibiotic prescription.

There is no need to be concerned regarding your baby. Just keep your hands clean before handling the baby.

Hope this information was useful to you.

Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.
