10 Month Baby, Fell Down, Diarrhea, Behaving Normally. Is Diarrhea Related To Fall?
My 10 month old baby boy fell off our bed which isn't high. He did cry a lot but then calmed down & napped. He has been behaving normally, no fever but had diaherra. Is this something related to his fall ? And about a week ago he had fallen off the bed also I had went to doctor for previous fall dr said he was fine just had a knot which was a blood clot

Hello
Thank you for placing your query on Health Care Magic
It is unlikely for a child to develop diarrhea due to a fall. It is most likely to be sympathetic. That is as a stress response. Just maintain hydration of your baby. You can start a zinc containing syrup (consult your pediatrician for a proper dose). The blood clot may take some time to resolve but it is nothing to worry about.
Hope that helps
God bless you
