What should I do if my one-year-old child has diarrhea?

When a child is one year old, his digestive system is not fully developed. If parents pay more attention to the child's care during this period, the child may suffer from diarrhea. I believe that children always having diarrhea will make adults very distressed, so they must go to the hospital for treatment immediately. So how should children's diarrhea be solved? Next, let’s follow the editor to take a look!

If the baby is breastfed, the mother should be careful not to eat foods that are difficult to digest. If the baby has diarrhea during breastfeeding, the time of each feeding can be shortened and the child can eat half of the previous milk. Because the first half of breast milk contains more protein, it is easy to digest and rich in nutrition, while the second half contains more fat and is difficult to digest. If necessary, the mother can drink a large glass of light salt water half an hour to an hour before breastfeeding to dilute the milk and then breastfeed the child.

If your baby is not breastfed, make sure the milk containers and food he uses are clean to prevent bacteria from entering the body and causing diarrhea.

If your baby has bowel movements many times a day, you must be careful to prevent him from becoming dehydrated. You can boil some rice soup with an appropriate amount of salt and give it to him at any time. He can drink as much as he can. You can also cook carrot soup and add a little sugar to replenish the trace elements lost by your baby due to diarrhea.

The following diet therapy can be used: Glutinous rice intestinal strengthening soup: 30 grams of glutinous rice (slightly fried), 15 grams of yam, cook porridge together, add a little pepper powder and appropriate amount of white sugar after it is cooked. Ginger tea: Take 3 grams each of green tea and dried ginger, put them in a porcelain cup, brew with 150 ml of boiling water, cover and soak in warm water for 10 minutes and drink as tea at will.

Orange and Jujube Tea: Take 10 red dates, wash and dry them, and fry them in an iron pan until they are charred. Take 10 grams of clean orange peel, put the two ingredients together in a thermos cup, soak them in boiling water for 10 minutes, and drink them as tea after meals, divided into two doses a day. Black plum soup: add 10 black plums to 500 ml of water and boil them into a soup. Add brown sugar as needed and drink it instead of tea. Take it several times a day.

The editor reminds parents and friends that they must pay more attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm when the baby is sleeping at night. If they do not pay more attention to keeping the child warm, the condition may worsen. The editor suggests that parents give their children more light food during this period. It is best to take them out for some exercise at ordinary times, which can enhance the child's resistance and prevent some diseases.
