What should I do if my eight-month-old baby has water in his stool?

If your baby has watery stools in the fall, it is possible that he has been infected with rotavirus and has developed viral enteritis. If your baby does not keep warm, he may also have watery stools due to a cold. Improper diet or acute gastroenteritis may also cause your baby to have watery stools.

An eight-month-old baby has a relatively poor disease resistance. If parents do not take good care of the baby in daily life, the baby is likely to have watery stools, resulting in serious loss of body water. At this time, it is necessary to find out the cause in time and take appropriate measures to treat it. So what is the reason for an eight-month-old baby to have watery stools?

1. Caused by rotavirus enteritis

If you have watery stools in the fall, it may be caused by acute viral enteritis caused by rotavirus infection. When you have this disease, you often have yellow watery stools, and it will also be accompanied by fever, nausea, vomiting, general weakness and other discomfort symptoms.

2. Caused by cold

If an eight-month-old baby is exposed to air conditioning or fans for a long time, or if the baby is not kept warm when the temperature drops, the cold may enter the body and cause a cold. Watery stools may also occur, accompanied by fever, headache, dizziness and other symptoms.

3. Caused by improper diet

The gastrointestinal function of an eight-month-old baby is relatively poor. If he eats some raw, cold and cool food, it will hurt his spleen and stomach and he may have watery stools. If an eight-month-old baby eats too much meat and other difficult-to-digest foods, he will have indigestion and will also have watery stools.

4. Caused by acute gastroenteritis

If babies are not careful to eat spoiled food, it may cause acute gastroenteritis. At this time, they often have watery stools, which are usually yellow or yellow-green in color, and sometimes look like egg drop soup. In severe cases, they may also suffer from nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, etc.
