Patient's question:
The baby is 13 days old, and he has been having diarrhea these past few days. He's been running around everywhere, and his condition has been getting worse recently. He's also not sleeping well. What could be causing the baby's diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
If the baby has diarrhea, there are many reasons. It could be that the child is not clean, or it could be due to long-term contamination symptoms in the child, or it might be highly related to the child's usual water source. If you give the child another drink, it is very likely to cause diarrhea symptoms. The child's diarrhea may also be caused by long-term indigestion, so it is very important that normal feeding is not enough to make the child overeat.
