Diarrhea in children is a very common phenomenon, but it is not a normal phenomenon. If a child has diarrhea and it is not treated for a long time, the nutrients in the child's body will be lost rapidly, and the child will not be able to replenish the nutrients he needs, which will in turn affect the child's development. There are many reasons why children have diarrhea. According to the cause, children's diarrhea can be divided into three types: viral diarrhea, infectious diarrhea and physiological diarrhea! Viral diarrhea Many times, viruses can also cause indigestion and diarrhea in children. This situation usually occurs from August to November each year, with September being the peak month for the disease. Generally speaking, well-nourished infants aged 6-18 months are a high-risk group. Once they have indigestion and diarrhea, the baby's body temperature will rise to between 38-40 degrees Celsius, accompanied by various dryness and fullness symptoms. Diarrhea caused by viruses will cause stools to resemble rice soup or egg drop soup, and will also contain a lot of mucus. And because the stool volume is large and often flushes out like water, babies with viral diarrhea quickly develop dehydration symptoms such as sunken eye sockets and dry lips. Infectious diarrhea There are many reasons for indigestion and diarrhea in children. One of them is infectious diarrhea, which is caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi invading the gastrointestinal tract. These children often experience symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, vomiting, etc. during the illness. Their stools also have an abnormal odor or contain mucus or pus and blood. For diarrhea caused by this reason, mothers must take their babies to the hospital for treatment in time. Physiological diarrhea Many new mothers have found that their newborns have yellow-green loose stools shortly after birth, and they defecate very frequently. At this time, the new mother does not need to worry. If you observe carefully, you will find that the newborn's spirit is not affected, his appetite is always good, and there is no vomiting. Experts point out that indigestion and diarrhea are common physiological phenomena in newborns. These symptoms will naturally disappear as they grow older or after adding complementary foods. Parents don't need to worry too much about problems such as childhood diarrhea, because various factors can cause diarrhea in children. As long as they take strict precautions in life, pay more attention to children's food hygiene during the seasons of influenza and virus breeding, and be able to detect and regulate the child's diarrhea in time when the child has signs of diarrhea, or go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, the problem of childhood diarrhea can be solved well. |
