2. With the arrival of summer, the incidence of enteritis in children begins to increase. Pediatric enteritis is an intestinal infection caused by various pathogenic microorganisms, with bacterial enteritis being the most common. The clinical manifestations are mild and mainly gastrointestinal symptoms, manifested as increased frequency of bowel movements, increased water content, loose stools, egg-drop soup-like stools, watery stools, or stools with mucus, pus and blood. They may be accompanied by galactorrhea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, but there are no symptoms of dehydration or systemic poisoning. Most cases can recover within a few days. In addition to intestinal symptoms, severe cases also have obvious symptoms of dehydration, electrolyte and acid-base imbalance, and systemic infection and poisoning, such as fever, mental irritability or depression, drowsiness, and even convulsions, coma, shock, and toxic encephalopathy that are life-threatening.

2. Feeding, make sure the food is fresh and clean

The climate is hot in summer, and mosquitoes and flies breed. Many fruits, vegetables, and cooked foods are easily bitten by flies and contaminated with bacteria. Meat products, dairy products and other high-protein foods are also very easy to spoil in a warm environment. Therefore, parents should develop good eating and feeding habits, always ensure that the food is fresh and clean, and all kinds of raw and cold fruits and vegetables must be carefully washed before they can be eaten by children. Do not store various cooked foods in airtight containers. All cooked foods and dairy products that have been stored for a long time must be effectively heated and sterilized before they can be eaten. The milk should not only be boiled, but also boiled for 5 minutes to achieve the sterilization effect. Never feed your children expired, spoiled, or suspected spoiled food.

3. Pay attention to hygiene and keep tableware clean and non-toxic

Unclean tableware and milk utensils are also a common cause of childhood enteritis. Some parents do not pay attention to the timely cleaning and disinfection of bowls, chopsticks, bottles and nipples, and do not pay attention to the different use of raw and cooked cutting boards, knives and containers, which can easily lead to bacterial contamination and cause diarrhea in children. Therefore, you should develop the habit of washing tableware and milk utensils immediately after meals and milk drinking, and use raw and cooked utensils and containers separately. Boil and disinfect tableware regularly, with each boiling time not less than 20 minutes.

4. Use the refrigerator scientifically and beware of the invasion of "refrigerator bacteria". In summer, many families are accustomed to putting watermelons, fruits, and cold dishes in the refrigerator without sealing them and eating them directly after chilling. Some people mistakenly believe that the food in the refrigerator will not deteriorate, so they take out the leftovers in the refrigerator and eat them directly without heating. Little do people know that the refrigerator is not a vacuum environment and contains many bacteria that can easily contaminate food. Therefore, fruits and vegetables that are to be eaten directly must be kept in a sealed manner in the refrigerator, and cooked food that is stored exposed in the refrigerator must be boiled and heated before consumption. The refrigerator should also be cleaned regularly, and raw and cooked food should be kept separate.
