What to do if your baby has diarrhea

  Fall diarrhea is a seasonal, epidemic disease that, as the name implies, develops mainly in the fall and winter months, mainly from September to January each year, and according to epidemiological surveys, the incidence is highest during these months, from October to December.  Before the onset of autumn diarrhea in babies, there are usually prodromal symptoms such as cold, stuffy nose, runny nose, cough and even vomiting, etc. Some babies also have fever, but the temperature is not too high, mainly low fever. The number of stools will increase in a day or so, from 3 to 5 times a day to more than 10 times a day in severe cases, with white or yellow egg-flake soup-like stools, watery, sometimes with mucus or blood, and rarely with odor.  The age of onset of autumn diarrhea is most common between 6 months and 3 years old, because babies before 6 months of age are protected by antibodies from the mother, and their intestines are difficult to be invaded by viruses, especially breastfed babies, which have a very low probability of suffering from autumn diarrhea. Babies over the age of 3 years old have their own resistance and their gastrointestinal tract is basically mature, so they also have some resistance to fall diarrhea.
