Most children with diarrhea cannot escape these five reasons! How to correctly "stop diarrhea"?

Children's diarrhea is a common problem for parents. Because the baby's digestive function is not perfect, it is easy to have diarrhea.

After beginning of winter, as the temperature drops, children are more likely to catch a cold, which leads to diarrhea. Seeing that there are more and more children with diarrhea in outpatient clinic recently, today I will talk to you about the etiology and syndrome differentiation and treatment of diarrhea in children.

Diarrhea in children can occur all year round, but the causes of diarrhea are different. Bacterial infection, virus infection, cold, improper diet, etc. , may cause diarrhea in children.

The treatment of different causes is not the same. Parents should be clear about their children's experience and diet before diarrhea, and also know what the symptoms of diarrhea represent, so as not to delay the treatment of the disease and avoid more serious situations.

Types and manifestations of diarrhea

Diarrhea in children is mainly manifested as increased stool frequency, thin stool or watery stool, accompanied by vomiting and fever. This disease is more common in infants under 2 years old. The younger the age, the higher the incidence. Parents should be more careful.

Generally mild diarrhea, the frequency of defecation is less than 10 times a day, and eating and vomiting are less, which is quite spiritual; Diarrhea is serious, and the number of diarrhea per day exceeds 10 or even dozens of times. The course of disease is often very long, and it is not good for a long time. Less or even no urine, or lukewarm limbs, clear stool, can feel the lower abdomen or even the whole body chills.

According to the different causes, children's diarrhea can be divided into many types, the common ones are:

Children's diarrhea is often accompanied by a variety of symptoms due to different causes, which requires parents to know more.

A few days ago, I saw a school-age child. Parents described that the child had diarrhea and vomiting in the morning. I thought it was just a cold, and I didn't pay special attention. As a result, I started to have a high fever in the afternoon and went to the hospital quickly. The final diagnosis was norovirus infection because I had eaten unclean seafood before.

Therefore, once the child has diarrhea and vomiting, parents must be vigilant and take the child to the hospital in time to prevent complications. Norovirus, the culprit in this case, has similar clinical symptoms to gastroenteritis after infection and has a certain incubation period. Many children have been infected with norovirus, but they are still vulnerable to the virus and lack lasting immune protection. Recently, eating more shrimp and crab seafood, norovirus infection cases have also increased, so parents need to pay more attention to food hygiene.

The above medication and external treatment methods are only for everyone's understanding, and the specific implementation needs professionals. Family members can try medicated diet and cook at ordinary times. I wish every child a healthy and safe growth!
