Question
Which diseases can diarrhea in infants and young children be easily confused with?
Answer
Diarrhea in babies is generally more common in physiological diarrhea or pathological nausea and vomiting. If the child’s spirit and body temperature are normal and there are no other symptoms, it is more likely to be physiological diarrhea. If there are adverse symptoms, such as the baby being small and the digestive system not yet fully developed, it may be related. If the number of bowel movements significantly increases, for example, more than ten times, and is accompanied by fever and the child’s spirit is dull, it may indicate enteritis or other pathological nausea and vomiting. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination and diagnosis in a timely manner.
