Many people suffer from diarrhea. A common cause of diarrhea is improper diet. Eating unclean food can cause this condition. Medication is a good choice to relieve diarrhea. However, the methods of treating diarrhea are different for different people. What should we do if our baby has diarrhea due to bacterial infection? The following is a detailed introduction to some methods to relieve diarrhea caused by bacterial infection in babies.

What to do if your baby has diarrhea due to bacterial infection:

1. Diet therapy: For mild cases, reduce the amount of milk and replace it with rice soup, sugar and salt water, etc.; for severe cases, fast for 8 to 24 hours and give intravenous fluids.

2. Fluid therapy:

(1) Oral administration: Suitable for those with mild dehydration or mild vomiting. The amount of fluid replacement is calculated as 100 ml/day per kg of body weight and taken in several doses.

(2) Intravenous rehydration: used for moderate and severe dehydration.

3. Control infection: Select antibacterial drugs according to the cause of the disease.

4. Symptomatic treatment: For diarrhea, take bismuth carbonate or light acid protein 0.3 g orally once, 3 times a day. To aid digestion, take pepsin mixture 1 ml per year, 3 times a day, or 1 tablet of multienzyme tablets once, 3 times a day. Treat symptomatically according to the condition.

5. Targeted treatment: Antidiarrhea drugs cannot cure all diarrhea. When your baby has diarrhea, don’t just focus on antidiarrhea drugs. If you change one drug after another and the baby has to take a lot of drugs, not only will you waste money, but your child will also suffer. In view of the characteristics of infants and young children's imperfect gastrointestinal function, poor disease resistance, and poor drug absorption ability, Ding Gui uses Chinese medicine with warm properties to mainly act on the spleen and stomach. Under the premise of taking into account that the delicate stomach and intestines of children are not subjected to excessive drug stimulation, the unique gastrointestinal regulating effect of traditional Chinese medicine and the transdermal drug delivery method with high bioavailability are used to reach the diseased part of the children as quickly, best, and most accurately.

After understanding what to do if your baby has diarrhea due to bacterial infection, you should also pay attention to your baby's diet when treating your baby's diarrhea due to bacterial infection.
