Common causes of diarrhea in children

We all know that pediatric diarrhea is a common disease in infants and young children, usually occurring in summer and autumn. Most of the causes are due to improper diet. In order to enable everyone to have a more comprehensive understanding of the cause of the disease, the following content will provide a detailed analysis for everyone.

① Overeating, adding complementary foods too quickly or too many types of food, or eating too much greasy food with residue, will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and make the food incompletely digestible. Inappropriate food ingredients or rapid changes, such as suddenly adding complementary foods or changing milk to cereals, or feeding starch, vegetables, and fat in an inappropriate ratio, etc., can all cause diarrhea in children.

② Infants and young children do not eat enough and are often hungry, which can lead to hunger diarrhea;

③. Food or tableware used are not clean, which may cause the baby to eat food containing bacteria, which may easily cause gastrointestinal infection.

④. If the baby suffers from diseases other than the digestive tract (such as colds, pneumonia, etc.), diarrhea may occur due to digestive dysfunction.

⑤. In hot summer or high room temperature in winter, children sweat a lot, secretion of digestive juice decreases, digestive enzyme activity decreases, and children's digestive ability decreases. Some children like to kick off the quilt when sleeping, and their abdomen gets cold, or children eat popsicles or drink cold drinks. Cold stimulation can also induce increased intestinal peristalsis, leading to non-infectious diarrhea.

To sum up, through the above analysis, I believe most parents understand the specific reasons why infants and young children are prone to diarrhea. Therefore, I hope that parents will pay more attention to prevention in this regard in daily life and try to prevent their children from suffering from this disease.
