why loose motion happen - #12701
I am really worried about my kid. Last week, he started having loose motion, and I swear, it came outta nowhere. One day he was completely fine, and the next, he was running to the bathroom every hour, poor thing. Like, one minute he’s playing with his toys, and then I hear him calling from the bathroom, saying he had another episode. He’s not eating much either, just sips water and says he doesn’t feel good. I took him to the hospital, and the doc said it’s probably a viral thing or something he ate. But why does loose motion happen in cases like this? The doc didn’t give me a straight answer, just told me to keep him hydrated. I've seen other kids get loose motion too, but why does it happen? Is it only food, or are there other triggers? I mean, he didn’t eat anything unusually, just some rice and veggies. And now every time he has to go, I’m getting all anxious, thinking, oh no, is this gonna take longer than a few days? It's stressin me out! Is there any way to help settle his tummy cure the loose motion, or should I just wait it out and hope for the best? Why do some kids seem to bounce back, while others struggle? What’s the best approach to handle loose motion?
