3-year-old baby vomits and has abdominal pain but no fever

The baby is the treasure of the family. There are often many problems in taking care of the baby. In the process of the baby's growth, almost every baby has vomiting and diarrhea more than once. Because the child's own digestive function is not particularly good, the body digests food slowly and produces inflammation. At this time, the body will feel uncomfortable? So what's the matter with the baby's diarrhea and vomiting without fever? How should we take care of it in daily life?

How to care for baby with diarrhea

1. Ensure adequate water. When a baby has diarrhea, the body will lose a lot of water. At this time, you must make sure to feed the baby water, especially for babies with severe diarrhea for a long time, accompanied by vomiting and fever. You must pay attention to feeding the baby water frequently to replenish the lost salt and water in the body in time to avoid dehydration.

2. Feed your baby in time. For babies with diarrhea caused by cold or various factors, no matter what the reason is, there are certain problems with the baby's digestive and absorption system. If parents mistakenly believe that the baby's digestive system cannot bear it and fast the baby, the baby's body will become more deficient in nutrition and his physical fitness will be weaker.

3. Do not abuse antibiotics. Many young parents, due to their lack of parenting experience, when they find their baby has diarrhea, they quickly give the baby some antibiotics in an attempt to control the condition. Little do people know that the misuse of antibiotics is not only not conducive to controlling baby's diarrhea, but also may mask some actual illnesses.

What should I do if my baby vomits and has diarrhea?

Rehydrate in time

When babies suffer from repeated diarrhea and vomiting, it is easy to cause severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. At this time, they must supplement with plenty of water to prevent dehydration. This requires parents to feed their children water frequently, in small amounts and frequently. Light salt water, carrot juice, apple juice, etc. are all fine. The water temperature should be hotter in winter and cooler in summer. Warm water can easily cause vomiting.

When the baby vomits or has diarrhea, you should stop adding complementary foods to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and relieve discomfort. Of course, for breastfed babies, there is no need to stop feeding, just reduce the amount of feeding appropriately, that is, shorten the feeding time and extend the interval between feedings. As the condition improves, gradually resume breastfeeding and various supplementary foods that have been consumed.

Ten drops of water navel patch

Shi Di Shui is a common Chinese patent medicine. Its main ingredients are camphor, dried sweet potato, rhubarb, fennel, cinnamon, chili, nuclear oil and alcohol. It can both dispel cold and reduce heat. Once inserted into the navel, it can stop vomiting and diarrhea. The specific method is: put ten drops of water in the baby's belly button, cover it with gauze and tape, and remove it after 12 hours.

1. Push the Tanzhong point

After the child vomits, parents can use the palm of one hand to massage from the Tanzhong point (the midpoint of the line connecting the two nipples) to the navel, repeating from top to bottom 5-7 times. This has a good effect of widening the chest, regulating qi, and stopping vomiting.

2. Press and rub Tianshu acupoint

Tianshu points are located on both sides of the navel. When your baby has diarrhea, you can massage the baby to relieve diarrhea symptoms. The specific massage methods are as follows:

Place the baby in supine position, and use the tips of your index and middle fingers to slowly and deeply press the Tianshu points on both sides of the navel (2 inches beside the navel). After pressing for about 10 minutes, slowly lift the pressing fingers. Generally, pressing once can relieve diarrhea.

Seek medical attention promptly

The condition of infants and young children changes quickly and babies have poor tolerance, so they should be treated with caution. If the baby's condition does not improve during home treatment and care, and the baby shows signs of dehydration such as persistent vomiting, frequent watery stools, obvious thirst, sunken eyes, and significantly reduced urine output, as well as symptoms such as high fever, the baby should be taken to the hospital for further treatment.

Pay attention to disinfection and cleaning

If your baby vomits and has diarrhea, it cannot be ruled out that it is a gastrointestinal infection. Parents should pay attention to disinfection and cleaning: tableware, kitchen utensils, clothes, etc. must be disinfected, and hands must be washed after caring for the child to avoid aggravating the condition.
