Diarrhea


Diarrhea means you have to move your bowels often, and your bowel movements are loose, mushy, and watery. Sometimes this happens if you change the kinds of foods you eat or if you’re taking certain medicines. Diarrhea also can happen when you don’t wash your hands after you go to the bathroom and before you eat. Washing your hands washes away germs that could end up in your mouth!

Diarrhea can be caused by an infection in the intestines or another part of the body. Sometimes diarrhea is the only symptom of an infection. An infection can make you feel sick, give you a fever, and make you feel like throwing up. If this happens, your parents can help or ask your doctor for advice. They can help make you more comfortable and give you foods that are easy to digest while you get better.
