What are the causes of gastroenteritis in children?

1. Intestinal infections are caused by bacteria and viruses, especially pathogenic Escherichia coli, which is the main pathogenic bacteria. If a child is sick and antibiotics are used in large quantities and irrationally, it may cause fungi to invade the gastrointestinal tract.

2. Diseases other than the gastrointestinal tract, such as inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, pneumonia, nephritis, otitis media, etc., can reduce the secretion of digestive enzymes and increase intestinal motility due to fever and absorption of bacterial toxins.

3. Improper feeding of infants and young children, letting them eat too much, too little, or too early, eating too much starch or fat; sudden changes in food, sudden weaning, etc., can all cause diarrhea in children.

4. Climate changes, such as excessive cold increasing intestinal motility and excessive heat reducing the secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, can also induce acute gastroenteritis.
