Question
A 1.5-year-old child has diarrhea immediately after eating, with several episodes a day. What could be the cause, and how can diarrhea be reduced?
Answer
Diarrhea in children at this age is often due to gastrointestinal dysfunction. It could also be toxic gastroenteritis. It is recommended that parents take their child to see a pediatrician for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. Especially since young children can become dehydrated due to diarrhea, it is important to pay close attention.
