Patient's question:
TheI gave my child two days ago was salmon and tomato puree. The next day after eating it, he started having loose stools. He had a bowel movement every time he was urinated. Yesterday, he had eight bowel movements, all of which were watery. The last ones were almost like water. The room was hot at night when he was sleeping, so I turned on an air conditioner. I turned it off if it wasn't cool enough. How can this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Caring for infants and young children is actually a very meticulous and troublesome task. Because the children are very young and their immunity is relatively weak, they often experience some uncomfortable symptoms. Diarrhea in infants and young children is a very common disease. Some infants may have yellow-green loose stools shortly after birth, with frequent bowel movements but good spirits, no vomiting, and a consistently good appetite. As they grow older and start complementary foods, the diarrhea naturally disappears. Children with physiological diarrhea are prone to skin eczema, fever, and other symptoms after consuming foreign proteins such as milk or eggs, or even after exposure to sunlight, wind, or friction from clothing.
