November is about to enter the high season of fall diarrhea in children. At this time of year, experienced mothers are on guard. However, the majority of children with first-time illness are still affected every year, and for these mothers, it is basically temporary, and only when the disease comes do they know how to deal with it, and they are busy and do not know how to deal with it. The result is that the child is pulling for ten days and a half months, eating a lot of suffering. Experts say that although pediatric autumn diarrhea is a common disease, there are still serious cases occurring every year, children can be caused by diarrhea toxic encephalopathy, convulsions, etc., dehydration can also cause serious fontanelle depression, which is extremely detrimental to the health of children. Parents are advised to take early precautions to deter the occurrence of autumn diarrhea in children. Airborne droplet transmission is the main source of infection When it comes to diarrhea, the first thing that comes to mind is “eating a bad tummy”. Using this to apply the etiology of pediatric fall diarrhea is wrong. Unlike diarrhea caused by bacterial infection, the source of pediatric fall diarrhea is not from spoiled or contaminated food, but mainly through airborne droplets, and the children’s toys and tableware with rotavirus droplets may also become indirect vectors. The occurrence of pediatric fall diarrhea is closely related to the cooler weather, as families close their doors and children’s activities are often confined indoors, which results in poor air circulation and accelerates the growth and reproduction of viruses, resulting in a high incidence of the disease. In the north, pediatric autumn diarrhea is generally seen after the beginning of autumn, while in the south, because the weather turns cooler later, the high incidence of the disease is delayed until the end of October and does not subside until early January of the following year. Children with diarrhea are mainly between the ages of 6 months and 2 years, and those within 3 months of age may have other causes such as food intolerance and indigestion, rather than rotavirus infection. Most diarrhea occurs after cough and fever Because of viral infections, pediatric fall diarrhea also differs markedly from general diarrhea in that it usually begins with cough, fever, and vomiting, followed by sudden diarrhea a few days later. Many parents think that the diarrhea is caused by medication, but in fact the incubation period of the virus is 2-3 days, after which time the virus will strike. The stools of fall diarrhea are either watery or egg-flake soup-like. The average duration of the patient’s illness is 5-7 days, with some children being strong enough to get better in 2 or 3 days, while others may have serious complications, such as toxic encephalopathy, convulsions, and fontanelle depression. Each child’s condition may be different. It is the right attitude not to ignore it, but not to be too nervous either. If a child has an attack in the middle of the night, as long as there are no symptoms of high fever or violent vomiting, you can take a little Similac at home to stop the diarrhea and wait until the next day to go to the hospital. If the child is vomiting, you can also use acid suppressants to stop the vomiting, along with some probiotic medication. This disease is very common, the community hospital is better, do not have to go to the big hospital long queues to register. Moreover, community hospital doctors should be trusted as well. If parents do not understand, they will make doctors shrink and delay the disease. Early vaccination can reduce the incidence of the disease The days are as cold as water, and closing the windows can prevent wind and keep you warm. However, for the prevention of pediatric fall diarrhea, even if the weather is cold, it is not appropriate to keep the doors and windows closed for a long time, and it is not advisable to keep children at home to play. It is best to open the windows and doors at the right time in the morning, midday and evening, let children go outdoors more often in sunny weather, and do a good job of cleaning and disinfecting dishes and toys, so as to minimize the infestation of viruses. Many parents vaccinate their children against fall diarrhea in advance. Vaccination can increase a child’s resistance and reduce the probability of becoming seriously ill once infected, which is still of great benefit. However, vaccination is not 100% immunization, and the virus transforms every year, so daily preventive measures should be taken as usual. Children who are allergic to proteins or in the acute infection period are not suitable for vaccination and should pay more attention to life precautions. Three misconceptions 1, children with diarrhea do not give food as long as the child can eat, we must encourage him to eat, milk powder, breast milk can. If the number of diarrhea is high, it is recommended to change the formula to lactose-free (antidiarrheal) formula. Older children can eat white porridge with a little salt instead. 2, afraid of children pulling bad, give lean meat water to drink diarrhea children’s intestinal digestive capacity has decreased, should be given a proper light diet. A greasy diet will further aggravate the gastrointestinal burden and make diarrhea more serious. 3, children can not eat, then infusion oral than infusion is relatively safe. If the child can maintain the symptoms of non-dehydration, and the number of stools is not too many, you can first take oral rehydration salts (brewed water as tea) or sugar saline. Only if the child has completely watery stools, the number of stools increases significantly, and the child cannot eat, or even vomits when drinking water, should infusion be considered. At this time, the virus may attack the heart, brain, liver and other vital organs, so it is recommended to cooperate with liver protection drugs, etc. A reminder that adenovirus, astrovirus, norovirus can also cause diarrhea symptoms similar to rotavirus, to be on the safe side, it is best to use drugs after diagnosis by a doctor, do not go to the hospital to see a doctor without using drugs.
