What medicine should children take for gastrointestinal cold

Gastrointestinal colds are relatively common clinically, and many children may also show symptoms of gastrointestinal colds. In more serious cases, medication is still needed for treatment. Gastrointestinal colds may also cause vomiting in children, so treatment measures should be taken in a timely manner, and children’s medication should also be taken seriously. So what medicines can children take for gastrointestinal colds?

1. Medication

For babies suffering from gastrointestinal colds, in addition to taking medicines to treat colds, they should also take some Chinese medicines that can help digestion, relieve stagnation and relieve symptoms, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills, Jiawei Baohe Pills, Zhupo Houzao Powder, etc. If your baby has abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and severe vomiting, you can first take Simotang oral liquid to stop vomiting and digestion, and then take other medicines about half an hour later. This will have a better effect. Because colds cause gastrointestinal digestive enzyme secretion disorders, decreased digestive function, and gastrointestinal spasm, babies will experience abdominal pain and vomiting. You can give your baby live bacteria preparations, which are beneficial to the establishment of normal flora in the baby's gastrointestinal tract.

2. Home care

Home care for gastrointestinal colds is very important. Mothers should pay attention to keeping fresh air in the room and add or remove clothes for the baby in time if the climate changes. If your baby sweats a lot after taking antipyretics, you should change the wet clothes promptly after each sweating to avoid catching a cold again and worsening the condition.

3. Note

It is normal for babies to have a decreased appetite during illness. Mommy should not be anxious, let alone force them to eat. Giving the child's gastrointestinal tract some rest time will help the body recover as soon as possible. Once the baby vomits, the mother should not panic. Let the baby lie on his side. For older babies, the baby can be placed in a prone position. This will help the vomit to flow out, keep the airway open, and avoid vomitus from being inhaled into the trachea, causing suffocation and endangering life.
