Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Can babies take medicine if their bowel movements are abnormal?Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea. The symptoms of diarrhea in children are generally considered to be caused by digestive disorders, viral infections, lactose intolerance, bacterial infections, and other reasons.
