Question
My daughter has been in kindergarten for a while now. Lately, she’s been suffering from diarrhea and crying and saying she feels very uncomfortable. But I can’t do much to help her. I want to know what the cause might be. How is pediatric diarrhea caused? Thank you, doctor.
Answer
Diarrhea in children is often related to diet; overeating or excessive intake can cause abdominal pain, and changes in weather may also lead to diarrhea. It is recommended to limit children from eating cold foods, especially cold drinks, and avoid giving them ice cream and similar items. Baby diarrhea is usually caused by indigestion, viral infections, colds, enteritis, etc. Besides the characteristics of the baby’s stool, it also depends on the child’s dietary habits. If the child is uncomfortable, it is not due to school spirit or other conditions. If possible, please take the child to a regular hospital for a check-up. Hope this helps.
