Many parents think that diarrhea is a minor illness and that some medicine will do. But if you ignore some of your child’s symptoms, it may lead to serious consequences at any time. The younger a child is, the more cautious he or she should be with diarrhea, for two reasons: first, young children have poor perception and expression skills, so they cannot say whether they have abdominal pain and the site of abdominal pain after diarrhea, which can be easily misdiagnosed; second, diarrhea can be a manifestation of other diseases and needs to be identified. When young children have diarrhea, parents need to observe four aspects: Among diarrhea cases, diarrhea caused by unclean diet with bacteria, viruses or toxins produced by bacteria entering the body is the most common, called “infectious diarrhea”, accounting for about 85% of diarrhea cases. Most of these diarrheas are prone to temperature abnormalities, manifesting as moderate fever (around 38.5 degrees), and fever symptoms may appear earlier than the diarrhea or at the beginning of the diarrhea. At the same time, children with infectious diarrhea may also show signs of not playing, not wanting to eat, being abrasive, crying, and being listless. Parents should not be overly anxious about this. However, when the child has high fever (more than 39 degrees) earlier than diarrhea (or when the number of initial diarrhea is small), we should pay great attention to it and consult a doctor in time to prevent the dangerous condition of toxic dysentery. 1. Observe the mental state, that is, observe whether the child with diarrhea appears depressed, drowsy, convulsions, convulsions, seizures, coma and other symptoms. These symptoms are different from the weakness, fatigue, sleepiness and wakefulness that children often have when they have diarrhea, and are manifestations of mental and consciousness disorders. There is also a manifestation of jet vomiting, when you say vomit open your mouth and vomit out, rather than vomit only after nausea, or vomit after medication. Once you find a child with similar mental symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately. 2, observe the stool properties and the number of times diarrhea is common in young children is thin stool, watery stool, egg-like stool, yellow-green stool or a small amount of mucus. Diarrhea about 5 times a day, the amount of stool is not a lot, no obvious dehydration phenomenon. However, if there is blood in the stool, or blood-water-like stool, or pus-blood-like stool, and the amount of stool is small each time, and the child is reluctant to get up from the potty, it may be dysentery, or jejuno-transgressive diarrhea, or hemorrhagic E. coli diarrhea. If the child has a lot of diarrhea and has a large amount of stool, he or she will lose a lot of water in the body and will easily become dehydrated. Prompt consultation for infusion should be made to prevent acidosis. 3.Observe the early manifestation of complications When children have diarrhea, high fever, headache, jet vomiting; reduced urine volume, protein in the urine; limbs, especially the lower limbs, weakness; poor breathing; skin rash, petechiae and other symptoms are often the early manifestation of complications and should be seen in a timely manner. 4, observe the effect and reaction of drugs The child’s diarrhea symptoms are mild, you can buy your own medicine to treat. However, if you do not see the effect of the medicine you choose within 2 days, or if there are adverse reactions to the medicine, you should immediately stop the medicine and seek medical advice. The diet of a child with diarrhea should be based on soft and nutritious meals, and unweaned babies can be fed with milk as usual; drink as much water as possible, preferably with a little salt. In addition, parents caring for children with diarrhea should always wash their hands to prevent the spread of germs.
