Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is 2 years old. Recently, I don't know what's wrong, he has been having diarrhea all the time, and he hasn't eaten any bad food. It has been two or three days already. I haven't taken him to the hospital for a thorough examination yet. I was wondering if it might be infant diarrhea. I want to ask the doctor what is infant diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
The most obvious symptom of infant diarrhea is an increase in the frequency of bowel movements, with loose and unformed stools. In some cases, it may also be accompanied by curdled milk. Since children are young and their gastrointestinal function is not yet fully developed, an imbalance in the gut microbiota can lead to this condition. It is recommended to give the child more water to prevent dehydration caused by nausea and vomiting. Additionally, under the guidance of a doctor, probiotics or medications like "Intestinal Regulator" can be taken to help regulate gastrointestinal function.
