Question
What are the causes of infant diarrhea?
Answer
Infant diarrhea may be due to physiological reasons, infectious factors, or improper diet. Besides gastrointestinal issues, other systemic diseases such as upper respiratory infections, pneumonia, otitis media, and urinary tract infections can also lead to nausea and vomiting. Insufficient food intake may cause hunger-induced vomiting. Excessive defecation may be due to diarrhea or constipation. Physiological diarrhea refers to an increase in the frequency of bowel movements under normal circumstances.
