If a baby has diarrhea, the first step should be to give the digestive tract more rest without affecting the child’s nutrition. Fasting is appropriate at the beginning of the doctor’s treatment, usually for 8 to 12 hours, and oral rehydration salts (ORS oral rehydration salts are designated by the United Nations World Health Organization as mandatory for the treatment of diarrhea in babies) can be given instead of intravenous fluids. The diet can be gradually resumed after the doctor starts treatment. Breast-fed children should reduce the duration of each nursing session, and artificially fed children can be fed with thick rice soup with milk, which can ensure the supplementation of calories and nutrients for infants and children. Autumn diarrhea treated with antibiotics is mostly ineffective, you can choose Chinese medicine treatment. If your baby is still not well or if the condition worsens, you should always go to the hospital and ask for medical attention to prevent accidents. The following are several methods commonly used in treatment: 1. Fasting therapy For simple diarrhea, most do not need fasting. Even if fasting, it should not exceed 6 to 8 hours. Fasting may result in starvation diarrhea, dehydration and electrolyte disturbances in the baby, and may also cause malnutrition. Without a doctor’s order, mom and dad can’t implement fasting or starvation therapy for babies with diarrhea. 2, diet therapy The role of food therapy in the treatment of diarrhea is also very important, the specific methods include: within 6 months of the baby no matter what type of diarrhea, do not stop breastfeeding, but the mother should eat less fat heavy food, and 30 minutes to an hour before feeding a glass of warm boiled water to dilute the milk. If the baby has steatorrhea, try to give the baby the first part of the breast milk. The first part of breast milk contains more protein and the second part of breast milk contains higher fat, which is not good for the digestion of a child with diarrhea. Milk-fed babies can increase the ratio of water to milk. If you feed pure milk before diarrhea, you can match the milk to 4:1, 3:1, 2:1 at the beginning of diarrhea, and you can also boil the milk and remove the top skin to reduce the fat content and become skimmed milk. Fried rice flour is also an effective food therapy (but not suitable for babies before 4 months). Put rice flour on a gentle fire and fry it until it becomes burnt, take an appropriate amount of burnt rice flour each time, add a small amount of water and sugar and boil it, then eat it; lotus root powder can also be used as food for diarrhea, put lotus root powder into water and dissolve it, add an appropriate amount of sugar and boil it, then eat it. 3.Eating strategy Appropriately extend the feeding interval, reduce the feeding dose (for babies who eat less, do not restrict as long as the baby wants to eat), reduce the variety of food, change the cooking method (such as boiling fresh milk several times and discarding the milk skin on top), etc. 4, hydration method Baby diarrhea will lose a lot of water and electrolytes, the water in the intestinal cavity not only can not be absorbed, there will be a lot of water precipitation, if only drink plain water, is not absorbed by the intestinal tract, there will be water pulling water phenomenon. At this time, if you can take oral rehydration salts (electrolytes), not only can absorb water, but also can absorb the replenished electrolytes, which can play a role in stopping diarrhea.
