Diarrhea is defined as the passage of frequent, loose, watery stools three or more times a day that may be accompanied by vomiting. In children, the most common cause is viral. There is, therefore, usually no need to prescribe antibiotics. Other diseases like malaria, pneumonia, ear infections, and urinary tract infections may be associated with diarrhea. Fluid loss occurs quickly, and if not corrected, it may result in dehydration, which can be fatal.
