Diarrhea is a disease that sometimes does not exist independently, its appearance is likely to be caused by other diseases, so we usually no matter which disease is suffering from must be timely treatment of it to prevent other complications, the next for you to introduce what are the common causes of diarrhea in babies: 1, gastroenteritis: gastroenteritis (also known as gastrointestinal flu) is an inflammatory disease of the stomach and intestines, can cause diarrhea in infants, children and adults. Gastroenteritis is very common and can be caused by many different viruses. The most common etiologic agent is rotavirus, which infects half of the children hospitalized with diarrhea and occurs in late fall and early winter. 2. Bacterial infections: Severe diarrhea (sometimes accompanied by vomiting) with abdominal pain, bloody stools, and fever are often caused by viruses or bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella, etc.). Some of these infections are self-healing, but some can be very serious, such as infections caused by E. coli bacteria contained in half-cooked meat. 3. Parasites: Parasitic infections may also cause diarrhea. For example, giardia (also called pear-shaped flagellosis) is caused by a parasitic worm that lives in the intestine and can only be seen under a microscope. The parasite is easily transmitted when living in groups and requires special medication.
Parasites mainly enter babies through drinking water (including water for preparing formula milk). Tap water is stored and transported through roof tanks and aqueducts, etc., which can easily cause secondary contamination and contain various types of parasites such as red worms and Giardia lamblia. 4, antibiotics: If your baby has diarrhea during or after antibiotic treatment, it may be related to the drug. 5, food factors: drinking too much juice (especially juice containing sorbitol and high concentrations of fructose) or too many sugary drinks may also make your baby’s tummy uncomfortable and stools thin. 6, milk allergies: milk allergies are not uncommon and can also cause diarrhea and sometimes vomiting.
