Do you know why there are a lot of stomach and intestine discomfort in autumn? Because autumn is a season that is very easy to get infected. If you don't eat properly in autumn and don't take good care of your gastrointestinal tract, there will be a lot of discomfort. Especially when children are young, they will have diarrhea if they don't take good care of themselves in autumn. So what medicine should children take for autumn diarrhea?

Fluid replacement method

In the early stages of a baby's illness, parents must pay great attention to the use of oral rehydration salts. If you can properly replace the fluids lost by your baby due to diarrhea and combine it with other treatments, you can avoid the trouble of having your baby in the hospital. Here are 3 methods for making rehydration fluid. You can choose one according to your actual situation.

Rehydration recipe 1: Rice soup + salt

500 ml of rice soup (approximately the capacity of a 1-jin bottle of white wine) + 1.75 grams of fine salt (approximately the amount of half a beer bottle cap).

Rehydration recipe 2: sugar and salt water

Bring 500 ml of warm water + 10 grams of white sugar (about 2 tablespoons) + 1.75 grams of fine salt to a boil.

Rehydration recipe 3: ORS solution (oral rehydration salts)

This kind of rehydration salt is sold in hospitals and pharmacies. Dilute each bag with 1000 ml of water.

Adjust your diet

Even though the baby is vomiting and having diarrhea, you can still let him continue to eat. If your baby is breastfed, you can continue to feed him as before. If the baby is bottle-fed, for babies under 6 months old, you can dilute the milk with rice soup for the first two days, and then switch to a normal diet after 2 to 3 days. For babies over 6 months old, you can feed them porridge, noodles or soft rice with some vegetables, fish or minced meat, and some fresh fruits and juice to supplement potassium. In short, eating should be encouraged during diarrhea, and the baby should be fed nutritious and easily digestible food, and this should be continued until 2 weeks after the diarrhea stops.

When your baby has diarrhea, you can also temporarily stop eating some foods, such as meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc., and start eating again after the diarrhea is alleviated. However, the time of stopping complementary feeding should not exceed 3 days, because it is equally important to ensure the baby's required calories and nutrition.

If your child wants to take medicine when he has diarrhea in autumn, you can give him the medicines we introduced above. These medicines will not harm the child and will not cause any adverse reactions. In fact, the best way to treat children's diarrhea is diet therapy. Give your child more light food, let the child drink more water when he has diarrhea, pay attention to keep warm, and avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.
