It is common for babies to experience diarrhea, and if parents are not careful, they may cause their children to have diarrhea, such as catching a cold or suffering from indigestion. Moreover, many babies' diarrhea is caused by bacterial infections, which can be quite severe and require medical treatment. So, what are the symptoms of bacterial infection diarrhea in babies?
When a baby experiences diarrhea, if it is caused by bacterial infection, not only will there be more frequent bowel movements, but there will also be symptoms of fever and vomiting. The child's stool will be yellowish green with mucus. Sometimes it will appear like Egg&vegetable soup. Generally, the child will feel abdominal distension.
If the bacterial infection causes severe diarrhea, the child's bowel movements may reach about ten times, and they may have watery stools with a sour odor, often accompanied by a foul odor. Babies may experience moderate fever, and some may experience drowsiness, irritability, and lethargy. When the condition is severe, it can also cause coma, convulsions, and even lead to acidosis in children.
If a baby develops bacterial diarrhea, it is necessary to actively treat it and pay attention to regular care. Due to bacterial diarrhea, it is easy for children to become dehydrated, so it is necessary to replenish their fluids. If a child has dry lips, less urine, or no urine, it indicates that the child is dehydrated and should be promptly refilled with fluids.
