Question
What diseases can diarrhea in children trigger?
Answer
Diarrhea in children can lead to electrolyte and water imbalances, as well as malnutrition, often associated with exposure to cold or intestinal viral infections. It manifests as an increase in bowel movements and the absence of formed stools. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a detailed stool examination to identify the specific cause of diarrhea. Under the guidance of a doctor, use astringents and gastrointestinal mucosal protective agents for treatment, and provide intravenous fluid replacement for dehydration if signs are present.
