Patient's question:
Baby has diarrhea, as a parent, I'm very worried, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Regarding the issue I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.Doctor's answer:
Dysentery is an intestinal infectious disease characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, tenesmus, and the passage of red and white purulent blood stools. It is relatively common in children. It is more prevalent during the summer and autumn seasons, but it can also be seen in the winter and spring seasons. It is primarily transmitted through the contamination of water, food, and hands by feces from infected individuals or carriers. Flies, which move between feces and food, also play an important role in spreading dysentery. People with poor nutrition, intestinal parasitic infections, or other weakened physical conditions are more susceptible to this disease. Clinically, it can be classified into acute and chronic dysentery. It is recommended to seek medical attention for serious cases.
