What is Infant Diarrhea?
Infant Diarrhea is a disease caused by increased number of bowel movements in a baby causing dehydration and making the baby week. Also, other associated symptoms with Infant Diarrhea are fever.

Causes of Infant Diarrhea:
The main cause of Infant Diarrhea is viral gastroenteritis (the "stomach flu"). The flu/virus enters the infant's body due to unhygenic conditions around him.

Most important suggestion and life saving solution is rehydrating the baby with commonly found ORS (Oral Rehydration Salts). It is available in all government hospitals for free. It is only possible because of the UNICEF. If you want to help save a life you can donate to UNICEF. Donate Now. www.supportunicefindia.org

4. Consult a doctor if fever continues to stay in the baby.
