Diarrhea
Diarrhea is one of the most common problems in children especially those below five years. It is defined as passing 3 or more watery stools per day. It is mainly of three types- acute diarrhea, persistent diarrhea, and dysentery.
In acute diarrhea, diarrhea lasts less than 14 days whereas in persistent diarrhea it lasts more than 14 days. Dysentery is diarrhea with blood in the stool with or without mucus.
Body fluids and salts are lost from the body in diarrhea and this is dangerous as it can lead to dehydration. Apart from dehydration, persistent diarrhea leads to nutritional problems especially malnutrition and serious non-intestinal infections. Dysentery can lead to anorexia, rapid weight loss, damage to the intestinal mucosa, and even death.
The causes of diarrhea may be varied and include bacterial and viral infections (C.dificile, rotaviral), intolerance to certain foods, food allergies, parasitic infections, treatment with antibiotics and other drugs, irritable bowel syndrome, or inflammatory bowel disease. Traveler’s diarrhea is caused by eating contaminated food or water when traveling.
