Can children with diarrhea take Enteritis Ning?

Children with diarrhea can use Enteritis Ning under the doctor's advice, but parents should not use the medicine on their own. The causes of diarrhea are diverse, and the appropriate treatment method must be selected after the cause is identified. Common treatment methods include replenishing water, preventing dehydration, and identifying the cause of treatment such as infection control and dietary care.

1 Common causes of diarrhea in children

Diarrhea in children may be caused by viral infections such as rotavirus, bacterial infections such as salmonella, dietary problems such as overeating, allergies to certain foods or lactose intolerance, an underdeveloped digestive system, or environmental factors such as unclean food or toys carrying germs. Parents need to make a comprehensive judgment based on the baby's specific symptoms, especially the frequency and nature of diarrhea and accompanying symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, and vomiting. If accompanied by severe signs such as high fever, mental depression, and bloody stools, the baby should be taken to the doctor as soon as possible to identify the cause and treat the symptoms.

2. The effects and application of Changyanning

Changyanning is a Chinese patent medicine, the main ingredients of which are Coptis chinensis and Sijiqing. It has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, and stopping diarrhea, and is often used for bacterial or inflammatory diarrhea. However, it has a cold nature and may not be suitable for babies with weak spleen and stomach and mild diarrhea. Before using Changyanning, a professional physician must confirm whether it meets the drug indications to avoid aggravating the condition or causing side effects.

3 Key points for nursing care of children with diarrhea

Preventing dehydration should be the primary goal of home care. Oral rehydration salts can be given to babies in small sips and frequent drinking. Mild diarrhea can help restore electrolyte balance. In terms of diet, reduce the intake of high-fat and crude fiber foods. Foods rich in probiotics such as yogurt or light, easily digestible rice soup, applesauce, etc. are recommended. Pay attention to hygiene habits, such as washing bottles and cleaning baby's hands, to reduce the risk of recurrence of infection. For drug treatment, in addition to Enteritis Ning, probiotic preparations such as bifidobacterium triple live bacteria or antibiotics such as norfloxacin can also be selected according to the doctor's advice.

Diarrhea is a common health problem in children, but its treatment requires precise identification of the cause and symptomatic treatment. Parents should avoid self-medication and seek medical attention in a timely manner, especially when diarrhea is accompanied by severe symptoms, to ensure the safety and health of the baby.
