Baby has diarrhea during the incubation period of pneumonia

Many babies will develop pneumonia after catching a cold, which has actually become a very common symptom of the disease. Babies will have diarrhea during the incubation period of pneumonia, so we must find a way to control the development of the symptoms and try to relieve the baby's diarrhea. Otherwise, the baby will be in danger of dehydration, which will only make the condition worse.

1. Acute diarrhea

(1) Infections include intestinal infections caused by viruses (rotavirus, norovirus, coxsackievirus, echovirus, etc.), bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Shigella dysenteriae, Vibrio cholerae) or parasites (Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia).

(2) Poisoning: Food poisoning such as eating uncooked lentils, poisonous mushroom poisoning, puffer fish poisoning, heavy metal poisoning, pesticide poisoning, etc.

(3) Laxatives, choleretics, digitalis drugs, etc.

(4) Other diseases: acute exacerbation of ulcerative colitis, acute necrotizing enterocolitis, food allergy, etc.

2. Chronic diarrhea

The causes of chronic diarrhea are more complicated than those of acute diarrhea. Lesions of the intestinal mucosa itself, excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine, defects in intestinal transport function, insufficient digestive capacity, intestinal motility disorders, certain endocrine diseases and extraintestinal tumors may all lead to the occurrence of chronic diarrhea. Conditions that can cause chronic diarrhea include:

(1) Intestinal infectious diseases: ① Chronic amoebic dysentery; ② Chronic bacterial diseases; ③ Intestinal tuberculosis; ④ Giardiasis, schistosomiasis; ⑤ Intestinal candidiasis.

(2) Non-infectious intestinal inflammation: ① Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis); ② Radiation enteritis; ③ Ischemic colitis; ④ Diverticulitis; ⑤ Uremic enteritis.

(3) Tumors: ① Colorectal cancer; ② Colon adenomatosis (polyps); ③ Malignant lymphoma of the small intestine; ④ Amine precursor uptake decarboxylation cell tumor, gastrinoma, carcinoid, intestinal vasoactive intestinal polypeptide tumor, etc.

(4) Small intestinal malabsorption: ① Primary small intestinal malabsorption; ② Secondary small intestinal malabsorption.
