Recently, I've had some diarrhea. Why is the baby having diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Our baby is now over one year old. Recently, there have been some symptoms of diarrhea. The condition itself is not particularly severe, just that it has been lasting for a bit longer. However, there is no issue with what they are eating. What could be causing diarrhea in a one-year-old baby?

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons why a baby may experience diarrhea, with the most common being viral infections, especially during seasonal changes. It is very likely to encounter special viruses, which can then lead to the child having diarrhea. These situations require antiviral treatment. If the symptoms persist for a long time, it may also be caused by some gastrointestinal inflammation.
