Pediatric diarrhea is a disease that belongs to children and seriously affects the appetite of children. So, how can we identify this disease? Please see the following introduction for details.

2. Acute necrotizing enteritis infection and allergic reaction are important factors in the onset of the disease. The disease has five major symptoms: diarrhea, abdominal distension, bloody stool, high fever and vomiting. The stool is initially watery, then turns dark red, jam-like or bloody. The abdominal distension is often severe, and shock, even coma and convulsions may occur in the early stage.

3. Acute bacillary dysentery has a high incidence in summer. Children with the disease often have a history of eating unclean food. The incubation period is 24 to 72 hours. Most patients have an acute onset, high fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, tenesmus, and mucus, pus and blood in the stool.
