Patient's question:
TheI gave my child two days ago was salmon and tomato puree. After eating it, he started having loose stools the next day, and every time he urinated, he had a bowel movement. Yesterday, he had eight bowel movements, all of which were runny, with the last ones being watery. Last night, the room was hot, so I turned on an air conditioner, turning it off when it wasn't cool enough. How should I treat this?Doctor's answer:
For the care of infants and young children, it is actually a very meticulous and troublesome task, because the children are small and their resistance is relatively weak, so 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 they are in good spirits, without vomiting, and always have a good appetite. As they grow older and start adding complementary foods, the diarrhea naturally disappears. Children with physiological diarrhea are prone to developing 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.
