Infectious diarrhea can be sporadic or eruptive. Diarrhea patients have bloody stool, accompanied by abdominal pain, fever and other symptoms. There are red blood cells and white blood cells in stool examination, which often indicates infectious diarrhea. Pathogens causing infectious diarrhea include bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi.
Non-infectious diarrhea, first, because of the cold, the gastrointestinal peristalsis is accelerated after cold stimulation, and the water and food eaten are too late to digest and absorb; Secondly, because of eating too much, it is difficult to digest, and generally defecation can heal itself several times.
