What are the symptoms of pediatric enteritis?

The symptoms of pediatric enteritis are varied and mainly include the following aspects: 1. Gastrointestinal symptoms: The primary symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea. Affected children may cry persistently and appear irritable. Diarrhea can be frequent, occurring more than 10 times per day, with stools being watery or containing small amounts of mucus, and in some cases, blood in the stool may occur. 2. Vomiting and decreased appetite: Pediatric enteritis is often accompanied by vomiting, especially during episodes of diarrhea, which may lead to dehydration. The child's appetite typically decreases significantly, and feeding difficulties may even arise. 3. Systemic symptoms: Some children may develop fever and systemic signs of toxicity, such as pallor and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, dehydration and electrolyte imbalances may occur, manifesting as reduced urine output, dryness of the skin and mucous membranes, and sunken eyes. Given the diverse presentation of pediatric enteritis, parents should closely monitor their child's condition and seek prompt medical attention if any related symptoms appear.
