Patient's question:
Today at noon, I noticed that the baby's stool was runny and also less in amount. In the evening, he had another bowel movement that was a mix of yellow and green, and it was also very little. Moreover, the baby always cries and fusses when having a bowel movement. Normally, the baby's bowel movements are very regular. The baby is currently just 24 days old.Doctor's answer:
Child diarrhea is a disease caused by various pathogens and multiple etiologies. Most affected children are under the age of two, with infants aged 6 to 11 months being particularly susceptible. The peak incidence of diarrhea primarily occurs between June and September each year, as well as from October to the following January. Summer diarrhea is usually caused by bacterial infections, often resulting in mucus-streaked stools with a foul odor; autumn diarrhea is more commonly caused by rotavirus, characterized by watery or semi-liquid stools, but without a foul odor.
