Which hospital is safe for treating pediatric diarrhea?

Which hospital is safe for treating pediatric diarrhea? Pediatric experts said that infantile diarrhea (also known as indigestion) is a clinical syndrome caused by different causes. It mainly occurs in infants under 2 years old, and can be divided into two acute types. Mild diarrhea: several to more than ten times a day, the stool is egg drop soup-like, occasionally there is milk overflow and vomiting, slight abdominal distension, etc.

When your baby has severe diarrhea, how should parents take care of him correctly? The following pediatric experts from Nanyang Chest Hospital introduce to you:

1. Keep your child's abdomen warm.

Children's abdomen is easily affected by cold, and for children with diarrhea, the intestinal motility is already accelerated. If the abdomen is further affected by cold, the intestinal motility will be even faster, thus aggravating the condition.

2. Pay attention to protecting your child's buttocks.

Due to the increased frequency of bowel movements, the skin and mucous membranes around the anus are bound to be damaged to varying degrees. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the anal area during care. Gently rub and wash it. After washing, you can apply some oily ointment to prevent red buttocks. Diapers should be changed in time to avoid skin ulcers caused by friction between the diapers soaked in feces and urine and the skin.

3. Strengthen oral care.

Children with diarrhea often drink sugar, salt water or fruit juice, and the bacteria in the mouth can easily ferment sugar, causing bacterial infection and thrush. Especially for children with long-term diarrhea, oral inflammation is often present. Therefore, it is necessary to rinse frequently to prevent complications.

4. Observe the patient's condition closely and keep detailed records.

Observe the frequency and amount of diarrhea, stool color, and urine volume of the child. If diarrhea increases or stool is abnormal, consult a doctor in time to prevent accidents.

5. Diarrhea caused by climatic factors.

Sudden climate changes and cold abdomen increase intestinal motility; overheated weather reduces digestive juice secretion, and thirst makes it easy to eat too much milk, which increases the burden on the digestive tract, all of which can easily induce diarrhea. This type of diarrhea has obvious climatic factors, so in winter, you should pay attention to keeping your child warm and adding or removing clothes, especially when going out for activities. In summer, children's water evaporates more, so you should replenish enough water in time, not with milk, and take necessary cooling measures. If this type of diarrhea occurs, you can recover by adjusting your diet and drinking water.
