What are the symptoms of diarrhea and dehydration in children?
Severe diarrhea and dehydration have obvious symptoms. Babies are accompanied by vomiting, fever, thirst, dry lips, oliguria or anuria. The eyes of dehydrated babies are sunken, and the front fontanel is sunken. The baby is "emaciated" and "shriveled" in a short time, crying without tears. This shows that the baby has been seriously dehydrated. In addition to the hospital, the baby should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.

prescribe a diet

Many mothers will reduce the amount of food they feed their babies when they have diarrhea. Bian Xiao reminded mothers that no matter what the cause of diarrhea is, although the baby's digestive tract function is reduced, it can still digest and absorb some nutrients. Therefore, breast-fed babies should continue to feed as long as the baby wants to eat. The breast-feeding baby can reduce the milk quantity by about 1/3 at a time, and add some water to the milk. If the baby is not full after reducing the weight, you can add salty rice soup or feed it.

living environment

Mom and dad should carefully observe the nature, color, frequency and quantity of the baby's stool, keep the abnormal part of the stool as a specimen for testing, find out the cause of diarrhea, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm and reduce intestinal peristalsis. Mom and dad can use warm water bags to hot compress the baby's abdomen, or they can rub the baby's abdomen to relieve the sick child's abdominal pain. Pay attention to let the baby rest more, wash his buttocks with warm water after defecation to prevent the occurrence of red buttocks, and clean and boil diapers.

When the baby has diarrhea and dehydration, it will make the baby very painful, so parents should not only know how to do it, but also know how to prevent it! In this small series, I recommend a kind of salt solution rice soup for baby, which is most suitable for preventing dehydration caused by baby's diarrhea: 500ml rice soup+1.75 g fine salt or 25 g fried rice noodles+1.75g fine salt +500 ml water boiling for 2-3 minutes. Give the baby 20-40 ml/kg first, take a small amount, and take it after 4 hours.
