The symptoms of food poisoning in children are so serious

Because children have very poor ability to distinguish food, they are very likely to eat some poisonous food. Because of this, food poisoning has become an important cause of accidental death among children, so parents are reminded to take precautions. So what are the symptoms of food poisoning in children?

1. The most obvious symptom. Abdominal discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. are all symptoms of food poisoning in babies. Abdominal discomfort is accompanied by nausea, followed by nausea and vomiting. Babies with severe vomiting and diarrhea may also suffer from dehydration, acidosis, and even shock and coma.

In addition to the above symptoms, mothers can also judge whether their baby has food poisoning based on the following characteristics:

2. The incubation period is short and the onset is rapid. Many people may become ill at the same time within a short period of time.

3. The patients have all eaten the same food recently, and the incidence is limited to people who have eaten the poisonous food.

4. When you stop eating the food, the illness will stop immediately.

What to do in case of food poisoning?

1. Stop eating any suspicious food immediately.

2. Keep samples of suspicious food. If vomiting or diarrhea occurs, the vomit and excrement should be kept so that the doctor can find the cause promptly and accurately and treat the symptoms.

3. If you are waiting for an ambulance, you can take some self-help measures, such as inducing vomiting. If the symptoms are not serious, you can drink more warm water or dilute salt water, and then use your fingers or chopsticks to stimulate the root of the child's tongue and the back of the pharynx to induce vomiting. If the child is young and uncooperative, unconscious, or has accidentally ingested corrosive food, inducing vomiting is prohibited. If you find symptoms of shock (such as cold hands and feet, blue face, low blood pressure, etc.), you should lie down immediately, raise your lower limbs as high as possible, and wait for emergency medical treatment.
