What Causes Frequent Bowel Movements In A Child?

Hi Dr, my son is 7 months old and for the past 3 days he has been pooping on a 3hourly basis, which is alot. I am advised that this can be caused by teething but my GP say it s not the case. I checked his stools this morning it had a red colour in it. His energy levels are normal but I think he might have lost just a little bit of wait. Is this normal?

Pediatrician 's  Response
this is not due to teething. your baby has dysentry which may b fatal at this age. your baby needs medications. teething starts at 9 month of age and not related to loose motion. so take yr baby to a pediatrician.
