Answer
Diarrhea in children is a disease caused by various different pathogens and multiple different causes. The vast majority of affected children are under 2 years old, with infants aged 6 to 11 months being particularly susceptible. The peak of nausea and vomiting occurs mainly from June to September and from October to January of the following year. It is important to take the baby’s stool to the hospital for testing to determine the cause. There are many different causes of nausea and vomiting, and it cannot be concluded solely based on feelings that the baby is suffering from autumnal nausea and vomiting; it should be distinguished with the help of a doctor. If the baby has diarrhea less than 8 times a day, or if the number of times is not much but the stool volume is two to three times more than usual, or if it is all water and comes out in a spurt-like manner, it is important to take the baby to the doctor promptly.
