How to deal with summer children's diarrhea
As the temperature rises, it will reach the high incidence of diarrhea in children. Some experts remind that: Children's diarrhea should not simply believe that fasting is a must; under conditions of clear diagnosis, under the guidance of a doctor, reasonable, adequate, and standardized use of antibiotics; do not easily use antidiarrheal drugs; pay attention to timely replenishment of water to prevent Severely dehydrated. Big temperature difference between day and night, baby is more likely to have diarrhea Hot summer season is the season of high incidence of gastrointestinal diseases in infants and young children, according to statistics, the incidence of baby diarrhea is second only to respiratory diseases, ranking second. So why is it easy for babies to have diarrhea in early summer? Experts explained that high temperatures in the summer, changes in temperature inhibit the decomposition of stomach acid and digestive enzymes in the body, and this season, the baby is prone to thirst, feeding or drinking more water. Dilution of stomach juice, gastrointestinal burden, leading to weakened digestion. Coupled with the baby's gastrointestinal function is not well-developed, stomach acid and digestive enzyme secretion are not very good, and artificial feeding of the baby in the bottle seasons in the high temperature season is more likely to be contaminated. In addition, during the hot season, the baby's sleep quality is reduced. These factors will affect the gastrointestinal tract's full digestion and absorption of food, resulting in a higher incidence of diarrhea in the summer. Teach you how to judge if the baby is diarrhea? Judgment 1 according to the number of defecation Normal baby's stool is usually 1 or 2 times a day, yellow strips. When diarrhea occurs, the bowel movements increase more than normal, 4 to 6 times lighter, and 10 or more times severe. Judgment 2 Based on stool characteristics For dilute water, egg soup, it is sometimes mucus or pus and blood. The baby is also accompanied by spit milk, bloating, fever, irritability, poor mental performance. How to deal with the peak diarrhea in children in summer? First, do not simply think that fasting is a must Summer infantile diarrhea is more common in infants and young children within 2 years of age. The cause of children's diarrhea is infection, which is the most common. In addition, the pediatric gastrointestinal function is not perfect, and allergies to breast milk or certain foods can also cause diarrhea. Some parents think that when they see the child’s diarrhea, they think that “drinking more and eating more, not eating or not pulling†means that they wisely fast their children. As everyone knows, fasting during diarrhea, the state of hunger will instead increase the peristalsis and increase diarrhea, some children will suffer malnutrition or growth stagnation. To encourage children to eat, skim milk, porridge, etc. are better choices. The infant should continue to breastfeed or dilute the milk for 2-3 days, then gradually return to normal diet. Second, the correct application of antibiotics Pediatric diarrhea is a group of diseases caused by multiple etiologies and multiple factors. Infection is the main cause. The pathogens are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and so on. Anti-infective treatment is needed, but the long-term use of antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics, can cause bowel disease. Disturbance of the flora makes the diarrhea worse or prolonged. Therefore, in the case of a clear diagnosis, under the guidance of a doctor, antibiotics should be used in a reasonable, sufficient, and standardized manner. Third, do not easily use antidiarrheal drugs Pediatric diarrhea, the appropriate point to use antidiarrheal drugs, to prevent excessive loss of body fluids is beneficial, but because diarrhea is a common symptom of many diseases, therefore, in the treatment should be for the cause of medication, do not see diarrhea immediately with antidiarrheal drugs Abuse of antidiarrheal drugs not only does not cure certain diarrhea, but also has some side effects on children, especially small babies. Fourth, pay attention to add water in time to prevent severe dehydration Most children with diarrhea are in a hurry. Frequent diarrhea causes rapid loss of water and nutrients in the body, causing acute dehydration. Water is an important substance that sustains life. The younger the age, the greater the proportion of water in weight. If the child loses 5% of the body weight of water, symptoms of dehydration (spiritual euphemism, thirst, irritability, weakness, decreased urine output, poor skin elasticity, etc.) may occur; more than 15% may cause convulsions, coma and endanger life. This shows that parents should continue to allow their children to eat at this time, with particular attention to intake of liquids. Only early prevention and timely correction of dehydration can restore children’s health as soon as possible. If diarrhea should reach the hospital for treatment, use the medication under the guidance of a doctor. Do not take medication on your own. Treatment of four principles: to allow the gastrointestinal proper rest, control of infection, correct water and electrolyte disorders, good care.
