Patient's question:
Indigestion, frequent bowel movements daily (5-6 times), sometimes with a curd-like consistency, weak constitution; the child is only four months old and was hospitalized last month for diarrhea for a week. Symptoms have not improved significantly yet. The child has a good appetite and is in good spirits, but still has diarrhea. Who can help me?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of children's diarrhea. In most cases, it is due to various pathological reasons. For example: eating unclean things, intestinal inflammation caused by pathogenic bacteria or viruses; gastrointestinal inflammation, vomiting, and diarrhea caused by spoiled milk or other foods; children's gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by other systemic diseases; eating too much or too little. Cannot supplement food. When weaning or when the weather changes suddenly. Children cannot adapt to the occurrence of digestive system disorders. Some children's diarrhea is unrelated to the disease. Except for diarrhea, there are no other abnormal symptoms. The medical community believes that this diarrhea is caused by children's hunger, which increases intestinal peristalsis, thereby increasing the frequency of bowel movements. Under normal circumstances, after gradually increasing food intake, the frequency of bowel movements will return to normal.
