Baby diarrhea is a common occurrence for mothers, and it is often related to improper diet or unclean food. Furthermore, it is also possible that some mothers always believe that their babies are not eating enough and give them too much food. So, how many days does it usually take for a baby's diarrhea to recover?
The causes of diarrhea in babies are different. Usually, as long as the cause is identified and treated accordingly, it will usually improve within 3-7 days. Causing diarrhea in babies may be due to viral infections, bacterial infections, milk allergies, and so on. Older babies can also be caused by eating too much cold food, so targeted treatment is necessary to control the symptoms of diarrhea.
If the baby is diagnosed with gastroenteritis, there are many viruses that can cause gastroenteritis, including rotavirus. Many babies are hospitalized for diarrhea, 50% of which is caused by this virus and often occurs in late autumn and early autumn. If parents notice that their baby has diarrhea, accompanied by symptoms such as stomach pain, vomiting, and low-grade fever, they should be alert to gastroenteritis.
If parents find that their baby's diarrhea has bloody stools, it may be infected with bacteria, which can usually heal on their own. But those with severe symptoms need to seek medical attention in a timely manner. If the baby has such symptoms, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for examination, identify the cause, and take targeted measures, so that the baby's diarrhea can be controlled in a short time.
