What should I do if my child has diarrhea and vomiting in autumn?

When autumn comes, we will see many patients with diarrhea and vomiting symptoms in hospitals, especially children. In fact, this is because of the change of seasons, which makes people's upper respiratory tract easily infected by many bacteria and viruses. In fact, prevention is better than cure. This requires friends to have some correct handling methods when facing these symptoms. So what should we do if children have diarrhea and vomiting in autumn? In response to this question raised by friends, I will give you a satisfactory answer today.

①Prevent dehydration; ②Correct dehydration; ③Continue to eat; ④Use medication appropriately. According to the above principles, the following routine treatment measures can be taken for children with mild illness and no obvious dehydration during home treatment. But if the condition is serious, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

(1) Dietary adjustment: Pay attention to providing sufficient calories in the diet. For breastfed infants, stop giving complementary foods and continue breastfeeding. Artificially fed infants should be fed appropriate amounts of dairy products. Children with severe vomiting should fast for 4-6 hours and continue feeding after the vomiting has subsided.

(2) To correct electrolyte imbalance and acid-base imbalance: dissolve 1 bag of oral rehydration salt in 500 ml of warm water and take orally. If this method is ineffective, intravenous rehydration should be given and the dehydration can be corrected before stopping.

1. Pay attention to food hygiene

Tableware should be washed with boiling water before feeding, do not eat spoiled food, do not drink raw water, and store food under a cover to prevent contamination by insects.

2. Reasonable feeding, regular and quantitative feeding

Let your baby eat less fatty foods, eat more fresh vegetables, supplement vitamin B, and improve gastrointestinal function. According to the growth of the child, pay attention to the regular time and quantity of each meal, and eat small amounts frequently. When adding complementary foods, the child should also be fed in small amounts and frequently according to his or her physiological structure. At the same time, children need to drink plenty of water to replenish water.

3. Add or remove clothes in time according to climate change

Pay attention to climate changes, add or remove clothes in time, avoid overheating or cold, especially avoid cold in the abdomen. Pay attention to maintaining indoor ventilation.

4. Strengthen children's physical exercise, enhance their physique and immunity.

5. Vaccination is an effective prevention method

Get a rotavirus vaccine. It is recommended that babies aged 6-24 months be vaccinated with live rotavirus vaccine from July to September each year, before the autumn diarrhea epidemic season arrives, to prevent autumn diarrhea.

6. Develop good hygiene habits

(1) Some parents chew food and feed it to their children before their children have grown teeth. This is a wrong method and may spread adult germs to their children. In particular, some germs can be tolerated by adults but will cause illness to underdeveloped children.

(2) Parents should never test the temperature of food by mouth when feeding their children. The correct way to measure the temperature is for parents to take a small amount of the food that needs to be tested and place it on the inside of their wrist to feel the temperature.

7. Other aspects

(1) Early treatment of chronic diseases such as malnutrition, rickets, anemia, trace element deficiency, lead poisoning, etc.

(2) Use medication rationally. Do not abuse broad-spectrum antibiotics to avoid disruption of normal intestinal flora.

From the above paragraphs, we can see that the symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting in children in autumn are not terrible, as long as we pay more attention to them in daily life. But I would like to remind all parents again that in their free time, they should learn about content that is good for their children's health on some online health websites. Don't just play games and chat, and urge your children to arrange their diet and daily routine properly.
