What causes diarrhea in children?

Diarrhea in children is a common gastrointestinal disease. Many children often suffer from diarrhea symptoms, which brings serious harm to their health. Diarrhea is caused by many causes. Everyone should understand them clearly. Let’s take a look at the related causes of diarrhea in children.

If the child also has vomiting, the vomited milk has a sour smell, or is accompanied by undigested milk lumps, or has abdominal distension (the child lies flat on the bed with the abdomen higher than the chest), the stool is accompanied by foam, no mucus or pus and blood, the stool is just more frequent, and the stool is still yellow or a little light green and mushy, or it is loose and rotten, then it is indigestion. You can feed some digestive water to help, or you can feed some Mommy Love to adjust the intestinal flora, and Smecta to stop diarrhea, etc. If the child also has severe vomiting, or even vomits after eating, or has paroxysmal crying that can be relieved by itself, the nature of the stool has changed significantly, and it is egg drop soup-like or watery, or accompanied by mucus, etc., then it is likely that enteritis is high, and this requires timely medical treatment. A routine stool test can assist in the diagnosis.

If a child has diarrhea accompanied by persistent crying and poor spirits, and the stool is tomato pulp-like, then be alert to intussusception. If the stool smells very fishy, ​​be alert to necrotizing enterocolitis. Some children may also have diarrhea due to drinking herbal tea. If the child did drink herbal tea before the diarrhea, then the possibility is high. It is recommended not to feed the child too much herbal tea in the future.

In terms of nursing, it is important to note that: because the digestive function of children will be affected when they have enteritis, you can feed them some pepsin and digestive water to help, such as "Shide Le" digestive water. If the child is fed with milk powder, it is recommended to use diarrhea milk powder specially formulated for children with diarrhea. If it is temporarily unavailable, it is recommended to dilute the milk; if the child is breastfed, the mother's diet should be light and nutritious, and she should not eat too greasy food. The mother can also take "Changle Kang" to help, which is good for the child's recovery, because I advocate that the treatment of children's diarrhea should be "treated together with mother and child".

In addition, because the child has to poop more often, the little bottom will definitely suffer. It is recommended that you try not to wrap the little bottom too tightly while ensuring that the child does not get cold. When cleaning the bottom, try to wash it with water. If you use a cloth to wash it, you cannot wipe it, but press it, and it must be gentle, so as not to easily damage the child's delicate skin, otherwise the child may cry very hard. If the child cries very hard for no reason, pay attention to see if the bottom skin is red and the child is uncomfortable. To prevent this diaper dermatitis, you can also apply a layer of ointment on the little bottom after each washing of the child, such as tetracycline ointment, or eye ointment.

The above knowledge introduces the causes of diarrhea in children. The occurrence of diarrhea has harmed more babies and caused damage to their gastrointestinal health. I hope parents can pay attention to diarrhea in children, analyze the relevant causes, and pay attention to the prevention of diarrhea in children.
