Common causes and care of diarrhea in children

Common causes of diarrhea in children include cold, improper diet, bacterial infection, etc. Nursing methods include adding clothes, adjusting diet, correcting electrolyte disorders, supplementing trace elements, etc. If diarrhea does not improve after nursing, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Common causes and care measures for diarrhea in children:

1. Cold: If the child is not properly kept warm, a cold abdomen may cause gastrointestinal spasm, accompanied by fluid exudation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In this case, the child needs to be given more clothes and warmed up. If necessary, a hot towel should be used for hot compresses. The child will recover on his own after a period of time.

2. Improper diet: If children do not pay attention to healthy diet and take in too much irritating or difficult to digest food, it will easily cause diarrhea, and most of them will be accompanied by abdominal pain. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the child's diet to keep the diet light and balanced. If necessary, you should follow the doctor's advice to use drugs that improve intestinal flora, such as live bifidobacterium preparations, probiotics, etc.

3. Bacterial infection: If children's diet is unhygienic, they are prone to bacterial infection. The proliferation of bacteria in the digestive tract can cause gastrointestinal inflammation, and the condition can lead to diarrhea. In this case, it is necessary to replenish water in time, correct electrolyte loss, and prevent dehydration. If the condition is more serious, it is necessary to use antibiotics according to the doctor's advice, such as amoxicillin granules, azithromycin dry suspension, etc.

Precautions for children with diarrhea:

Children also need to adjust their eating habits and do appropriate exercise to promote gastrointestinal motility, improve digestive function, and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases.
