Will the child get diarrhea if they receive an intravenous drip?

Patient's question:

Main symptoms at 3 years old: Diarrhea
Onset date: October 15, 2009
Laboratory test results: Mycoplasma infection
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Intravenous drip

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the above situation may lead to the recurrence of nausea and vomiting. Therefore, it is important to pay close attention and carefully observe the child's condition, as well as monitor their dietary habits. Infants and young children usually consume breast milk along with complementary foods. In clinical practice, it has been found that the majority of infantile diarrhea cases are caused by parents feeding their children leftover "complementary foods" from the previous night, such as minced meat, rice porridge, or fish paste.
In summer, the high temperature makes food more prone to spoilage and decay. Infants and young children with weak immunity who consume leftover complementary foods are at a higher risk of experiencing recurrent diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and changes in appetite. In severe cases, they may even suffer from dehydration and poisoning.
