Answer

Pediatric diarrhea is a common digestive system disease in children, usually accompanied by frequent loose stools, watery stools, or bloody stools. The causes of diarrhea may include viral infections, bacterial infections, food allergies, and indigestion. If a child develops diarrhea, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and undergo treatment under a doctor’s guidance. At the same time, the child’s diet should be kept light and avoid excessive spicy or irritating foods to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
