What to do if children have diarrhea

Young children may have diarrhea due to their diet. Therefore, if diarrhea occurs, the child needs timely treatment to stop diarrhea, so as to ensure the health of the child. If diarrhea occurs, you must pay attention to avoid dehydration and dietary problems. So let's ask an expert to introduce this issue to us.

1. For infants under one and a half years old, the anterior fontanelle has not yet completely closed. Parents can cover the child's anterior fontanelle with the palm of their hand after the child falls asleep, and continue covering until the child's head sweats slightly. It is best for the child's father to do this, as men have high temperatures and babies are prone to sweating. When I looked at the baby again at this time, his nose was unblocked, his breathing was steady, and his temperature had dropped. At this time, parents can wake up the baby and feed him more warm water or brown sugar water, and the baby will soon recover.

2. Most children's fever is caused by colds. When they have a fever, their hands and feet are cold, their tongue coating is white, their face is pale, and their urine is light in color. Parents can use ginger and brown sugar water to dispel the cold for their children, and the effect is good. If 2 to 3 pieces of green onion cut into one-inch long are added to the ginger and brown sugar water, the effect will be better. If the child is afraid of spicy food, you can add two slices of ginger, two pieces of green onion, and a few drops of vinegar to the porridge for the child. After cooking, remove the ginger and green onion and feed it to the child. It can dispel cold, induce sweating, and reduce fever. The effect is good, and children are willing to eat it. Parents can feed their children 2 to 3 times a day. Do not add onions after the child's fever subsides. Ginger can also be omitted when the tongue coating is no longer white.

3. If the child's hands and feet are not cold when he has a fever, but his face is red, his throat is swollen and sore, his tongue is yellow or red, his urine is yellow and has a strong odor, and his eyes are red, it means that the child has a lot of internal heat in his body and he should not drink ginger and brown sugar water. Parents should let their children drink plenty of warm boiled water. You can also add a small amount of salt to the water to make it light salt water for the child to drink, which can eliminate internal heat. Only if children drink plenty of water and urinate more often, allowing the internal heat in the body to be discharged with urine, will their body temperature drop and the symptoms of getting a fever improve.

4. If the child has a fever both during the day and at night, it means that there is internal heat or inflammation in the body. Parents can cut the bitter gourd into thin slices, take 10 slices, add water and boil for 5 to 10 minutes, then give it to the child to drink, 2 to 3 times a day. When the child no longer has a fever during the day, stop drinking it. At the same time, try to let your child drink more water, eat fresh fruits, and have a relatively light diet. He cannot eat fish or shrimp, and can only eat other meats and vegetables.

The above is the expert’s opinion on this issue. If the child has diarrhea, he needs to follow the above-mentioned diet method. This will effectively ensure that the child’s condition is well controlled and avoid worsening of the condition and affecting the child. Finally, I wish the child a speedy recovery.
