Question
Additional question about diarrhea for the first time: The baby often has diarrhea, and she is now 7 months old and has been weaned. She always had diarrhea while breastfeeding, and even after taking medication, there has been no improvement. I don’t know what the cause is, could it be her gastrointestinal problem?
Answer
Diarrhea in children is common among infants and toddlers aged 6 to 24 months, occurring throughout the year, with more cases in the summer and autumn. It is a group of common pediatric diseases characterized by increased frequency and altered consistency of stools caused by various pathogens and factors. It can be divided into infectious and non-infectious types. Infectious diarrhea may be caused by viral infections (with rotavirus being the most common), bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections of the intestines. It is recommended to consult a doctor after examination before treatment.
