1. How to prevent diarrhea in children in summer

(1) Children with diarrhea should not fast

In the past, when children had diarrhea, they were more likely to be restricted in diet or simply fasted. The reason was to give the gastrointestinal tract a rest, and it was believed that after fasting, diarrhea would be alleviated. In recent years, experts believe that fasting is harmful rather than beneficial. Especially when a large amount of water is lost due to diarrhea, dehydration and acidosis will be aggravated; at the same time, if the child eats too little, he will be in a state of hunger, which will cause increased intestinal peristalsis and excessive secretion of digestive juices in the intestinal wall, aggravating diarrhea. Therefore, scholars now believe that fasting is not necessary when diarrhea occurs, and more water should be supplemented, especially nutritious liquid or semi-liquid diets, such as rice porridge, noodles, milk, broth, etc. As long as the child can eat, is in good spirits, and is given a proper diet, the child will gradually get better even if the diarrhea occurs more frequently.

(2) Do not abuse antibiotics

At present, it is very common to use various antibiotics for pediatric diarrhea. In fact, more than half of pediatric diarrhea is caused by viruses or improper diet. Antibacterial drugs are not only ineffective for diarrhea caused by these reasons, but will kill the normal flora in the intestine, causing flora disorder and aggravating diarrhea. In recent years, many ecological preparations have appeared, such as bifidobacterium preparations, Zhengchangsheng, Bifikon, lactobacillus tablets, etc. This type of drug aims to support the normal intestinal flora, inhibit the growth of pathogens through biological antagonism, and indirectly achieve the effect of killing pathogens, and has no side effects. Of course, for severe dysentery, the rational use of antibiotics is also necessary.

Therefore, special attention should be paid to children's diarrhea in summer.
