If the baby is prone to gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea, the doctor said that if the baby has diarrhea, it is necessary to take corresponding measures in time to prevent the illness from getting worse.
Excessive weather is easy to induce digestive dysfunction.
Diarrhea in children is a very common disease, which is characterized by increased stool, watery stool, mucus pus and blood.
Generally speaking, the causes of diarrhea are divided into infectious and non-infectious. The so-called infectivity is due to the infection of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and microorganisms. Non-infectious diseases are mostly caused by improper diet or climatic factors, such as catching cold in the abdomen and eating spicy and cold food. Excessive weather can also induce digestive dysfunction, leading to diarrhea.
The main symptoms of diarrhea in children are loss of appetite, vomiting and increased stool frequency. When the symptoms are serious, there may even be obvious symptoms of dehydration, electrolyte disorder, systemic infection and poisoning, such as fever, mental irritability, lethargy and even shock.
In nursing, many parents easily fall into this misunderstanding, that is, they use antidiarrheal drugs as soon as diarrhea occurs.
Diarrhea is like coughing. They are not diseases, but a self-protection mechanism, the purpose of which is to excrete foreign bodies.
Therefore, it is unscientific to stop diarrhea blindly, but it will leave pathogens in the body and induce bigger problems. Therefore, when children have diarrhea, they should pay more attention to the problems of hydration and electrolyte disorder.
In the face of infantile diarrhea, parents need to do three things well.
Having said that, the most important thing for children with diarrhea is to prevent dehydration and electrolyte disorder.
First of all, when the baby has diarrhea, he should add enough liquid to prevent dehydration. For example, oral rehydration salt ⅲ with hypotonic ORS formula published by WHO is used to adjust the metabolic balance of intestinal water and electrolyte, achieve the effect of rapid rehydration and safe diarrhea, and control and alleviate the diarrhea problem in children.
Secondly, don't stop feeding children because they have diarrhea. Diarrhea will lose a lot of nutrients in the baby's body, so parents need to supplement enough nutrients to make up for the missing nutrients, so as to effectively help the body recover.
Finally, one of the ways to reduce the severity of diarrhea and shorten the course of disease during zinc supplementation can effectively reduce the risk of diarrhea after 2~3 months.
It should be noted that when the baby has a high fever, frequent diarrhea and vomiting, the child who can't eat should seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying the illness and causing unnecessary consequences.
