Patient's question:
We have all noticed that our baby's bowel movements seem to have suddenly increased recently. The mother said she might have diarrhea. What is considered diarrhea in babies?Doctor's answer:
Causing bacterial infection, it can lead to enteritis, which then results in diarrhea. If an infant has diarrhea, the frequency of their bowel movements will increase. In addition to the increased frequency of bowel movements, the stool may become very loose, and in severe cases, it may appear streaky. It is watery, so it is necessary to judge whether the child has diarrhea based on these observations. If diarrhea is detected, please give the child water or intravenous glucose infusion.
