What is the cause of autumn diarrhea in children?

Many parents do not understand why children are prone to diarrhea in autumn, so once they face such a situation, they feel at a loss. It is precisely because of this that many children are affected and troubled by diarrhea problems. Now I will introduce to you in detail the main causes of children's diarrhea in autumn. If you understand the causes, you can prevent them scientifically.

Common causes of autumn diarrhea include:

1. Immature digestive system: The digestive system of infants and young children is immature and the enzyme activity is poor, but their nutritional needs are relatively high and the intestinal burden is heavy. If feeding is improper, such as adding too much starch or fat to the food, causing the composition to change, or eating too much at one time, it can cause digestive dysfunction and lead to diarrhea.

2. Immature immune function. The nervous system, endocrine system, circulatory system, liver and kidney functions of infants and young children are immature, their regulatory functions are poor, and their immune functions are not mature enough. When pathogens enter the body with contaminated food, it is easy to cause diarrhea.

3. Rotavirus infection. Autumn diarrhea in infants is mainly caused by rotavirus infection (pathogenic microorganisms can enter the baby's digestive tract with contaminated food or water). This situation often occurs in formula-fed infants. If the utensils or food used for feeding are not sterilized or are poorly sterilized, there is a possibility of infection. The virus can also be transmitted through the respiratory tract or water sources, which often occurs from August to December, with the peak in October to November.

4. Large temperature difference: The temperature changes greatly in autumn, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. Colds, abdominal colds and various infections caused by climate change can also lead to diarrhea.

Although diarrhea is a common problem, it should not be ignored for children, because diarrhea is sometimes caused by viral infections, which can have greater impact and harm. Therefore, parents need to scientifically understand the causes, prevent them scientifically, and adopt the most correct and effective treatment methods.
