Doctor's answer:
Infantile diarrhea (also known as indigestion) is a clinical diagnostic syndrome caused by various etiologies. It primarily occurs in infants under the age of 2 and can be classified into two types in acute cases.Mild type: Nausea and vomiting occur several times a day to more than ten times, with feces resembling egg drop soup. Occasionally, there may be milk leakage and dry retching, along with mild abdominal pain.
Severe type: Nausea and vomiting occur more than ten times a day, up to dozens of times, with watery stools, dry retching, fever, grayish complexion, restlessness, and even dizziness, convulsions. Symptoms such as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance may also occur.
The treatment principle for infantile diarrhea is to reduce intestinal pressure, adjust diet, enhance care, eliminate the cause, suppress infection, correct water and electrolyte imbalance, and provide symptomatic treatment.
