What to do if your 1-year-old baby has diarrhea and fever

With the arrival of summer and the rising temperature, some bacteria that adapt to high temperatures will grow and multiply, thus contaminating clean food and affecting people's health. Especially for babies around one year old, their digestive system is not yet fully developed. Once they accidentally eat food contaminated by bacteria, it will often cause diarrhea and fever in the baby. Tiny bacteria are difficult to detect. So what should you do if a one-year-old baby has diarrhea and fever? It has become a hot topic among parents.

First of all, we must ensure that our children do not drink “four-no” foods or beverages, that is, products with no manufacturer, no trademark, no production date, and no shelf life. Especially cold drinks.

Diarrhea is generally caused by accidentally eating food that contains intestinal infectious bacteria. You must be careful about "diseases entering the body through the mouth", pay attention to food and drinking water hygiene, develop good hygiene habits, and do a good job of prevention. Patients with intestinal infectious bacteria should stay away from babies as soon as possible. If a baby has severe diarrhea, do not delay the treatment and go to the pediatric department of the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to keep the condition under control.

For babies with fever, we must first cool them down. We can undress them and rub their whole body with a warm towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release the body heat. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat, which helps sweating and prevents dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature. It can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body, making the baby more comfortable and not so uncomfortable.

If your baby's limbs, hands and feet are warm and he is sweating all over, it means he needs to dissipate heat and he can wear less clothes. You can also let your baby drink more water. Drinking more water can prevent your baby from being dehydrated. I believe that as long as we do it seriously, the baby will be healthy.

This is what I want to introduce to you about what to do if your one-year-old baby has diarrhea and fever. As long as parents do as described above, they will be able to relieve their baby's symptoms in time. As long as the baby is healthy, we as parents can work with peace of mind. Of course, we as parents must let the baby eat uncontaminated, clean and easy-to-digest food.
