What to do if your baby has gastrointestinal infection

For children, the most common symptom after gastrointestinal infection is diarrhea, also known as diarrhoea. There are many reasons that can cause gastrointestinal infections in children. For example, the food the child eats is infected with Salmonella or E. coli. These bacteria enter the gastrointestinal tract and cause gastrointestinal inflammation, and cause the child to vomit, have diarrhea, or have a fever. Here's what to do if your baby has a gastrointestinal infection.

Your baby may have autumn diarrhea. It is best to check his stool routine to facilitate guidance on medication. Diarrhea caused by viral infection is self-limiting and usually takes about 7 days to recover. Antiviral treatment such as ribavirin granules is usually taken. If it is combined with traditional Chinese medicine for antiviral and antidiarrheal effects, the effect will be better. Pay attention to your baby's dehydration, and replenish oral rehydration salts or intravenous rehydration in time to ensure the balance of water and electrolyte intake and prevent water and electrolyte disorders. While receiving medication, diet and care are equally important. The diet should be light and avoid greasy food. Eating steamed apples and burnt (salted) rice soup can also help stop diarrhea. The baby's hands, feeding bottles, toys and diapers must be strictly disinfected.

Some babies with weak constitutions may develop intestinal infections. The reason may be the reduction of probiotics and lactic acid bacteria in the intestines, which causes intestinal infections. I think mothers should pay special attention to these problems. They can improve the baby's own immunity through diet. They should give the baby more boiled water, or cook some vegetable juice, fruit juice, probiotics, etc. to maintain the balance in the baby's body. Experts recommend giving the baby Mommy Love, because Mommy Love can appropriately increase the child's own vitamin C. If you insist on giving it to the child every day, it is very good. My child also drinks it, and his intestines have always been in good condition. It promotes the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria in the baby's intestines and improves resistance.

We should pay attention to this problem. Sometimes food poisoning is also the cause of gastrointestinal infection in babies. It is often caused by drinking contaminated water, eating some spoiled food, or the wife's hands touching dirty things and directly grabbing food to eat. Therefore, in order to avoid gastrointestinal infection in babies, we must pay attention to food hygiene and pay attention to the cleanliness of the baby's hands.
