What are the causes of infant and toddler diarrhea?

Patient's question:

I don't know why the child always has diarrhea in the fall and it gets better after a couple of days. I also don't know what the reason is. What are the causes of diarrhea in infants and young children?

Doctor's answer:

It may be due to physiological factors, infectious factors, or dietary factors, as well as other systemic diseases such as upper respiratory infections, pneumonia, otitis media, or urinary tract infections, which can cause nausea and vomiting, referred to as extragastric dyspepsia. Nausea and vomiting caused by insufficient food intake are called hunger-induced nausea and vomiting. Excessive defecation is still excessive defecation. Physiological diarrhea refers to an increase in the frequency of bowel movements under normal circumstances.
