In our clinical practice, we often encounter children with diarrhea. The most common occurrence of diarrhea in these children is when the fever improves shortly after a cold or fever, but the child develops diarrhea. There are also cases where diarrhea occurs after improper feeding, such as adding supplements too quickly or after an unclean diet. Most of these children recover quickly after the doctor’s guidance and medication, but there are a significant number of small children who recover less well. In particular, some parents of small infants do not know how to feed their children. When they ask the doctor, they may be advised to eat as little milk as possible during diarrhea, because milk is the best “culture medium” for bacteria, and bacteria will multiply faster when they meet milk. For older children, it’s easy to not eat milk for a few days, and children won’t cry too much, but for children who haven’t added much supplemental food, stopping milk feeding may not be easy for children to adapt. So what should we do? Some parents may not know that there is a milk powder called lactose-free milk powder (such as Nestle’s Anerin, Mead Johnson’s Advil, etc.), as the name implies, is the milk powder with lactose removed, which is specifically suitable for feeding children during diarrhea. The lactose-free milk powder can reduce the digestive burden of the intestines and facilitate the recovery from diarrhea. You may have heard of the term “lactose intolerance”. Some people, no matter what time of the day, will experience gas, intestinal tinnitus, bloating and diarrhea as soon as they drink milk. People usually think that this is an allergy to milk. In fact, this is medically known as lactose intolerance. Lactose is a sugar found in milk, and some people are congenitally unable to produce enough enzymes in their bodies to break down lactose. Then, the lactose in milk cannot be digested and broken down, which leads to typical digestive symptoms. Studies have shown that when a child has diarrhea, the epithelial cells of the small intestine break down, which can also lead to a temporary lactase deficiency, and when the child drinks formula during diarrhea, the child’s diarrhea does not recover as well. Therefore, during a child’s diarrhea, you can change to lactose-free formula, which can greatly shorten the duration of diarrhea. If you don’t believe me, you can test it. A few suggestions for parents of children with diarrhea 1.First of all, laboratory tests of stool should be performed to exclude infectious and non-infectious factors, and medication should be used reasonably under the guidance of the doctor. 2, diarrhea is not serious but vomiting is serious, go to the hospital in time. 3.When using the mucosal protective agent Similac, it must be fed on an empty stomach, 50 ml of water to flush a packet (required concentration), and not feed anything, including water, for at least 20 minutes after feeding as required. 4, mamma love or gold diflucan is the intestinal flora regulator, to use warm water, can not use boiling water. 5, the above-mentioned drugs can not replace antibacterial, if there is an obvious infection, you must take oral antibiotics.
