How to treat children's autumn diarrhea

Both adults and children will suffer from diarrhea. For diarrhea caused by general reasons, taking antidiarrheal drugs will have a very good therapeutic effect. However, for children, if they suffer from autumn diarrhea, the treatment path is more difficult. If the specific cause of a child's autumn diarrhea is not found, treatment will be difficult. This article will provide a detailed analysis of how to treat a child's autumn diarrhea.

Treatment is:

1. Drink more salt water to replenish electrolytes to avoid dehydration. Note that it is salt water and no sugar can be added. This disease is not like other diarrhea. You cannot eat sugar, which will aggravate the condition.

2. Use montmorillonite powder, also known as Smecta, which is specifically used to treat acute diarrhea. There is no specific medicine for autumn diarrhea, but using Smecta will quickly alleviate the condition.

3. Do not abuse antidiarrhea drugs or antidiarrhea secret recipes. Ordinary antidiarrhea drugs such as Mommy Love and Dinggui Umbilical Patch are useless for treating autumn diarrhea. If handled improperly, it will affect the treatment effect.

4. Pay attention to hygiene. Use boiling water to scald washed diapers and clothes to kill the germs to avoid cross infection and prolong the course of the disease. The baby's buttocks should be washed frequently with warm water, and it is best to apply some talcum powder or diaper cream.

5. Never fast. Regardless of the cause of diarrhea, although the baby's digestive tract function is reduced, the baby can still digest and absorb some nutrients, so breastfed babies should continue to be fed as long as the baby wants to eat. For babies who drink milk, the amount of milk they drink can be reduced by about 1/3 each time, and a little water can be added to the milk. Make sure to feed water according to the baby's thirst.

6. Detect dehydration early. When an infant has severe diarrhea, accompanied by vomiting, fever, thirst, dry lips, little or no urine, sunken eye sockets and anterior fontanelle, the infant becomes "thin" in a short period of time, the skin becomes "wilted", and the infant cries without tears, this indicates that dehydration has occurred and the sick child should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.

Regarding how to treat children's autumn diarrhea, there is one thing that parents need to pay special attention to, which is to prevent children from dehydration. Because many children have very severe diarrhea, if they are not replenished with water in time at this time, they will become dehydrated. If this is the case, it will only make autumn diarrhea more difficult to treat and will cause more serious harm to the child's body.
