Patient's question:
The child has had diarrhea since birth, and digestive medicine has also been given, but it has had no effect. I want to know what the cause of newborn diarrhea is finally?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal diarrhea is generally caused by the immature immune system of infants and the immature gastrointestinal function of adults, making them easily infected by viruses or bacteria, leading to infantile gastroenteritis and subsequently diarrhea. There are also cases where diarrhea occurs when infants are fed formula milk or when they switch to a different formula. The common causes of neonatal diarrhea include: physiological loose stools, improper feeding, abdominal chills, fright, and infections both inside and outside the intestines. The characteristics of the stool can be watery, foamy, green, or mucous. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a professional hospital.
