Why is the child's stool loose?

Gastrointestinal diseases in children are relatively common diseases, which usually occur more frequently in autumn and often cause great trouble to parents and friends. Children's diarrhea not only affects the normal development of children, but long-term diarrhea can also easily cause chronic enteritis. Therefore, it is recommended that children's diarrhea needs timely treatment. So what is diarrhea in children? Let’s analyze it in detail.

Now is the peak season for autumn diarrhea. Autumn diarrhea is caused by rotavirus infection. The results of your baby's routine stool examination showed that it was positive for rotavirus, indicating that your baby's diarrhea was caused by rotavirus infection. With targeted treatment, your baby will recover in about a week. During this period, the baby's resistance will decrease and he may be infected by bacteria, which is something parents need to pay attention to. There is another point I want to remind you. After rotavirus infection, edema will appear in the intestinal mucosa. Even if the rotavirus test is negative, it will take 4-6 weeks for the intestinal mucosa to repair. During this period, special attention should be paid to feeding, otherwise diarrhea will still occur. In terms of care, parents should first pay attention to replenishing water to prevent dehydration; second, clean the baby's butt in time and apply diaper ointment to prevent diaper rash.

At the same time, for viral diarrhea, we recommend breastfeeding. It not only has a therapeutic effect, but can also prevent viral diarrhea because the mother's body contains immunity that is lacking in milk powder. However, the mother's diet needs to be light and not too greasy. If the baby is not well after more than ten days, it is recommended to add more lactose in breast milk, which can also be a good treatment for pediatric diarrhea.

The above are some of our answers to pediatric diarrhea. When children have loose stools, we must pay attention to daily care to avoid problems such as red buttocks, which can cause great harm to children.
