How to prevent and care for young children who are prone to vomiting and diarrhea in winter?

Because the functions of various organs in young children are not yet fully developed, their immune systems are particularly weak, especially the gastrointestinal tract, which is prone to various gastrointestinal diseases. In winter, due to climate change, the weather turns cold. Children do not have a particularly good defense mechanism in such weather, so they are often prone to catching colds. The most common symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea. So when we face such a situation, what good care methods and preventive measures do we have?

1. Provide good care for vomiting and diarrhea in winter.

1. The digestive tract should be given time to rest without affecting the child's nutrition. If the fever exceeds 38℃, you should see a doctor immediately. The doctor will consider whether intravenous infusion is needed to prevent dehydration based on the child's condition.

2. During the treatment, parents should take good care of their children. For young children, in the early stages of diarrhea, you should record the number of bowel movements, stool volume, and daily feeding amount, and report to the doctor at any time.

3. Keep the mouth and skin clean. Children with prolonged diarrhea often have oral inflammation.

4. After each bowel movement, parents should rinse their child's buttocks with warm water, which can effectively prevent rashes and secondary infections.

5. Pay attention to keeping the child's abdomen warm. If you find that the child's limbs are cold, use a hot water bottle to keep them warm.

6. During the recovery period, you should pay attention to nutrition and gradually increase easily digestible food to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, keep the environment clean.

(2) Take precautions against vomiting and diarrhea in winter.

Taking good care of your children in daily life is the best way to prevent them from suffering from seasonal diarrhea. Some precautions to prevent vomiting and diarrhea in winter:

1. When a child has a poor appetite or is in the early stages of a fever, the amount of milk and other food should be reduced and can be replaced with water.

2. Avoid excessive consumption of high-fat foods and pay attention to room ventilation.

3. Pay attention to keeping your child warm and adding or removing clothes, especially when taking your child for outdoor activities.
