What Are the Causes of Diarrhea in Toddlers?
Diarrhea is a condition in which bowel movements are loose, frequent or both. Diarrhea in toddlers is not uncommon, and a child who is normally potty-trained may be unable to control his bowels when suffering from the condition. Many cases of diarrhea resolve without treatment, although medication or a change in diet is sometimes required. Diarrhea that is so severe that the child becomes dehydrated requires evaluation by a physician.
