How to treat chronic diarrhea in infants?

Some babies need to pay attention to timely treatment when they are sick, so as to ensure the health of the baby and avoid dangerous situations caused by the disease. Especially some babies suffer from chronic diarrhea, they need to pay attention to timely treatment. So how to treat chronic diarrhea in babies? Then let me introduce this issue to you below.

1. Sugar intolerance: The most common cause of sugar intolerance diarrhea in babies is the lack of disaccharidase or reduced activity. Primary disaccharide intolerance causes diarrhea shortly after birth. The reason is that the lack of disaccharidase prevents the absorption of a large amount of sugar, resulting in increased osmotic pressure in the intestine, causing a large amount of water to be absorbed into the intestinal cavity, resulting in diarrhea. Secondary disaccharide intolerance is more common and is caused by damage to the intestinal mucosa after gastroenteritis, resulting in a lack of disaccharidase. This diarrhea can last for several months.

2. Allergy to milk: Milk is a foreign protein, one of which, lactoglobulin, can damage the small intestinal mucosa and is the main allergen. If infants have poor clearance and processing functions for allergic cow's milk proteins, they will experience diarrhea and abdominal pain.

. If you continue to drink milk at this time, the diarrhea will not heal.

3. Dysbacteriosis: When a baby suffers from a serious infectious disease or has surgery, his resistance is significantly reduced. If a large amount of broad-spectrum antibiotics or corticosteroids are used for treatment at this time, the child's immune function will be weakened, and the normal intestinal bacteria that are sensitive to antibiotics will be suppressed, while insensitive pathogenic bacteria will multiply in large numbers and cause long-term diarrhea.

4. Allergy to wheat: Children are partially allergic to the antigens of gluten (protein in wheat flour) in barley, wheat and rye, causing local intestinal allergic reactions. When fat enters the small intestine, it is not easily absorbed by the intestinal wall and is excreted from the feces, causing persistent fatty diarrhea. 5.

Malnutrition: It is easy for diarrhea to persist, and persistent diarrhea promotes malnutrition, which creates a vicious cycle of cause and effect.

6. Artificial feeding: Artificially fed babies have low immunity and lose the protective factors in breast milk. In addition, milk is easily contaminated, so if they suffer from diarrhea, it is likely to be prolonged and difficult to heal.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the child has the above problems, the child should pay attention to taking timely treatment measures to ensure the health of the body and avoid dangerous situations caused by the above-mentioned chronic diarrhea problems. Finally, I wish the child a speedy recovery.
