Question
What is pediatric diarrhea?
Answer
Pediatric diarrhea refers to an increase in bowel movements in children, accompanied by loose, watery stools or the presence of milk curds. This condition is often associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction and may be caused by improper diet, viral infections, or gastroenteritis. Children with pediatric diarrhea are at risk of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and malnutrition, making timely medical attention and fluid supplementation crucial.
