Patient's question:
I have an 11-year-old child. He has been urinating frequently recently, and the stool is very loose, like water. I'm very worried that he might be experiencing a recurrence of diarrhea recently. Maybe he ate something wrong?Hello, what are the causes of diarrhea in children?
Doctor's answer:
The baby is experiencing diarrhea again mainly because the frequency of bowel movements is constantly increasing, accompanied by severe nausea and vomiting. This is usually caused by the baby wearing clothes that are too thin or catching a cold, viral infection, or consuming unclean food leading to bacterial infection. All of these can cause the baby to have diarrhea again. When the baby's bowel movement frequency increases, it is important to first carefully observe the child's mental state. If the baby still appears lethargic, it is crucial to be cautious.
