What should I do if my child has gastrointestinal dysfunction?

When a baby is just born, the digestive system is not fully developed. As the child grows older, the various organs will gradually become healthy. Many parents do not know this. If there is insufficient milk or the child cannot eat, parents will feed the child complementary food. In fact, this is very bad for the baby's digestive tract. If the baby has gastrointestinal dysfunction, it must be actively treated. Let's take a look at it below.

01

If a child of a few months old has symptoms of indigestion and anorexia, you can try feeding him Simo Decoction to relieve the symptoms, but be aware that the amount of Simo Decoction to be fed is one-fourth of the adult amount, and it can only be fed once a day. Do not be impatient and feed the child more to avoid side effects.

02

If a child has symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or even dehydration, then the child has gastroenteritis and should be taken to the hospital immediately for a blood test. The doctor should also be consulted as to whether the child needs to be replenished with water, and whether the method of replenishment is intravenous injection or drinking water.

03

If the child vomits first, then starts having diarrhea, and then has watery stools, it is malformation gastroenteritis. At this time, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately, because malformation gastroenteritis is very dangerous. In severe cases, the child may have a fever and shock. Therefore, if the child starts crying and making noises, you should go to the hospital to seek medical help.

04

Pay attention to the acid-base balance of food. When gastric acid secretion is excessive, you can drink milk, soy milk, eat steamed bread or bread to neutralize gastric acid. When gastric acid secretion is reduced, you can use concentrated broth, chicken soup, sour fruits or juice to stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and help digestion.

05

Unsuitable food:

Avoid foods that cause abdominal bloating and contain more fiber, such as beans, soy products, sucrose, celery, leeks, etc.

Children are still relatively young, and generally cannot express their feelings in words. It should be said that children suffering from gastrointestinal disorders are the most uncomfortable. Their only way of expressing is crying. Therefore, if children cry, it is necessary to check the cause and actively treat it so that the baby can grow up healthily.
