Baby has diarrhea and high white blood cell count?

If your baby has diarrhea and a high white blood cell count, it is mostly due to intestinal infection caused by bacterial infection. You can give your baby some oral anti-inflammatory drugs, and then take Smecta or Mommy Love for treatment. If the symptoms are not relieved, it is recommended to take your baby to the hospital in time to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically. During treatment, you must let your baby drink plenty of water, try to eat a light diet, and eat small meals frequently every day.

1. The digestive organs are not fully mature.

Since babies aged 1-2 years old grow and develop very rapidly, their bodies need more nutrition and heat energy. However, the digestive organs are not fully developed and secrete fewer digestive enzymes. Therefore, the digestive ability is weak and diarrhea is prone to occur.

2. The nervous system has poor regulatory function on the gastrointestinal tract.

Due to the poor regulatory function of the nervous system on the gastrointestinal tract, any slight change in diet, such as inability to adapt to added weaning foods, too many types added in a short period of time, or too much feeding at one time, sudden weaning; or improper diet, such as eating indigestible protein foods; low temperature and cold body speeding up intestinal peristalsis, too hot weather reducing the secretion of digestive juices, and large temperature differences in autumn and easy coldness of the lower abdomen, etc., can all cause diarrhea.

3. Low systemic and gastrointestinal immunity.

Due to the low immunity of the whole body and gastrointestinal tract, diarrhea can be caused by the slightest contamination of food or tableware. Babies are prone to respiratory infections due to their low resistance, and diarrhea can often occur when they suffer from colds, pneumonia, and otitis media.

Children with diarrhea should be given dietary therapy and nutritious food: continue breastfeeding. If the child is not breastfed, continue feeding with the milk or dairy products that the child consumes daily. If the child is under 6 months old and has not started eating solid food, feed the child with milk or other milk substitutes diluted with an equal amount of water for two days. If the child is over 6 months old or has started eating solid food, give him some rice porridge or other starch mixed food. If conditions permit, add some vegetables, fish or minced meat. Add some vegetable oil to each feeding.

1. Give some fresh fruit juice or mashed bananas to supplement potassium; feed freshly prepared foods that are well cooked, ground or mashed; encourage the child to eat at least 6 times a day; continue to feed the child the above foods after the diarrhea stops; and add meals at least once a day within two weeks after the diarrhea stops until the weight returns to normal.

2. Drug treatment: If the child's diarrhea does not improve after 3 days or the following symptoms appear, take the child to see a doctor: ① Multiple watery stools. ② Frequent vomiting. ③Obviously thirsty. ④ Unable to eat normally. ⑤Fever. ⑥ Blood in the stool.

4. Home care: Replenish water in time to prevent and correct dehydration: Especially for children with acute watery diarrhea, parents should feed them more fluids to prevent dehydration. Since the harm of diarrhea is caused by the loss of a large amount of water and electrolytes, it is necessary to replenish water and electrolytes in time. Parents can feed their children a variety of convenient, acceptable and effective liquids, such as breast milk, milk, yogurt, rice soup, porridge, vegetable market, boiled water, etc., as well as oral rehydration salts (ORS), etc. As long as the child wants to drink, he should be fed. Directions for use: For children under 2 years old, feed 1 teaspoon every 1 to 2 minutes; older children can drink directly from the cup. If the child vomits, stop for 10 minutes and then slowly feed the child, 1 spoon every 2 to 3 minutes, until the diarrhea stops.
