Question
What is associated with infant diarrhea?
Answer
Infant diarrhea can be associated with various factors, including indigestion, enteritis, improper feeding, and drug side effects. During indigestion, there may be an excess of food residue in the intestines, leading to fermentation by gut bacteria and gas production, which can cause the stool to contain bubbles. With enteritis, the nature of the stool may change, appearing like egg flower soup or water-like, and accompanied by mucus. Improper feeding or incorrect introduction of complementary foods can also cause diarrhea. Additionally, drug side effects may also lead to diarrhea, such as imbalances in the gut flora after taking antibiotics.
