Question
What are the causes of poor digestive system function?
Answer
Poor digestive system function in infants and young children can be caused by a variety of factors. Common causes include diarrhea, characterized by an increase in the amount of stool and a change in consistency to a watery form. Diarrhea can be caused by various pathogens and viruses, such as bacterial dysentery and enteritis caused by rotavirus. Additionally, viral enteritis is more common in different seasons, such as summer diarrhea and autumn diarrhea. These conditions are also known as infectious enteritis or infectious diarrhea.
