What causes a baby to have diarrhea?

Patient's question:

When it was already taboo to eat. But now it's a bit of diarrhea again. Approximately 3 to 4 times a day. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment yet. What kind of help do you want: Analyze the condition, find the cause, and how to treat it.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the baby has diarrhea. It is recommended to promptly complete a routine stool examination to determine if there are no white blood cells in the stool, thereby ruling out a bacterial infection. If it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to control intestinal and external infections, and avoid the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. If the baby's symptoms are too severe, temporary use of an intestinal mucosal protective agent and probiotics to improve the intestinal microenvironment can be considered. If the child experiences severe diarrhea, frequent bowel movements, large amounts of diarrhea, inability to eat normally, frequent vomiting and inability to take oral medication, persistent high fever, significant thirst, signs of dehydration such as sunken eyes, reduced tears, dry mucosa, or decreased urine output, changes in mental state such as irritability, apathy, or drowsiness, or bloody stools, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Avoid feeding the baby vegetables and fruits containing rough fiber, as well as high-sugar or high-fat foods. Also avoid sugary drinks, including commercially available juices, sweet teas, sodas, and colas, as well as exercise.
