How to treat children’s gastroenteritis?

Children's diet is an aspect that parents pay close attention to, but parents tend to overlook their children's gastrointestinal system. Children's nutritional absorption not only depends on rich food, but a good digestive ability is more important. However, many children have fragile stomachs and are prone to diseases such as gastritis, which can cause great harm to the body. Let’s take a look at how to treat children’s gastroenteritis.

1. The first thing is to keep your abdomen warm. When the temperature drops, babies are prone to diarrhea. When they have diarrhea, their intestinal motility is faster. If the abdomen is cold at this time, the intestinal motility will be even faster, so the diarrhea will get worse. At this time, parents should warm their children's abdomen appropriately, using hot water bottles, heat pads, etc., and rub their children's stomachs to relieve pain.

2. Second, daily necessities should be disinfected in time, because the baby is still young, his physical constitution and immunity are weak in all aspects, and his skin is tender, so he is very easy to get infected. Therefore, things used by children should be cleaned and disinfected in time. Avoid cross infection. Baby's toys should also be cleaned and disinfected regularly. The spoons, bottles and bowls used by babies for eating and drinking are the most important and must be cleaned and disinfected after each use. It is best to boil it in boiling water before each use.

3. Thirdly, keep the anus clean. Clean it with warm water every time the baby defecates to avoid intestinal infection again.

4. Fourth, parents who take care of children should pay more attention to their children's diapers, which are the most susceptible to infection. If the child poops or pees in the diaper, change it in time and clean the baby's bottom with warm water;

5. Fifth, eat properly. When a child has stomach discomfort, do not eat. Wait until the child's condition improves and he has an appetite, then encourage him to eat. Because children with gastroenteritis will vomit as soon as they eat, so they will not eat and anorexia will begin. When encouraging children to eat, be sure to feed them small meals frequently and slowly adjust their appetite and eating habits. If the child vomits frequently again, stop eating immediately and go to the hospital for examination to prevent dehydration.
