Question

A Little Diarrhea Lately, What’s Going on with My Baby?

Answer

Our baby is now over a year old, and recently, there has been a sudden onset of diarrhea. The symptoms aren’t particularly severe; it just seems to last longer. However, there are no issues with the baby’s diet. There are many reasons for a baby to experience diarrhea, with common causes being viral infections, especially during the change of seasons. There might be some special viruses that can trigger diarrhea in children. In such cases, antiviral treatment is necessary. If the symptoms persist for a long time, it could also be due to some gastrointestinal inflammation.
