What to do if your child has diarrhea

What every child and every parent hates most is their child having health problems. Diarrhea in children is a common situation in our lives. Although it is not a serious disease, if diarrhea lasts for a long time it will seriously affect the child's growth and development and is very detrimental to health. There are many reasons for children's diarrhea. Let us understand what we should do if children have diarrhea?

Generally speaking, autumn diarrhea is caused by pathogenic microorganisms entering the baby's digestive tract through contaminated food or water. Therefore, the key to preventing autumn diarrhea is to prevent "disease from entering the body through the mouth." Breastfeeding is encouraged as much as possible during infancy. If artificial feeding has to be used for various reasons, you should pay attention to using fresh infant formula with clear ingredients and production date labels. Do not give your baby food and water that has been stored for too long, and try to eat less raw, cold, and fat-rich food. Wash your baby's hands and cut their nails frequently; clean and disinfect their feeding utensils, and wipe tables, chairs and baby's toys frequently with disinfectant to prevent them from being contaminated with viruses. After get off work, parents should change clothes, wash hands and even take a bath before they can get close to their babies.

1. Fresh peaches can cure diarrhea

The author suffered from diarrhea about 20 times between May 1970 and August 1971 and suffered greatly. Later, I went on an outing to Jin Temple near Taiyuan and ate three or four fresh peaches, and my diarrhea stopped. From now on, if you notice loose stools or the onset of diarrhea, eat fresh peaches immediately (eat one fresh peach before each meal and 1-2 cloves of garlic with meals), and the diarrhea will stop immediately or be greatly alleviated. Over the past 19 years, I have told twenty or thirty friends and relatives, and all of them have experienced varying degrees of effectiveness. If diarrhea does not subside after 12 hours of eating fresh peaches and garlic, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that one should avoid eating onions when eating garlic, and should avoid eating Atractylodes macrocephala when eating fresh peaches. This is recorded for readers' reference.

2. A method of treating enteritis and diarrhea with garlic

Peel and wash the garlic, and use a knife to scrape off the heads and tails of the garlic cloves and the garlic membrane. When you have diarrhea, take a warm water sitz bath after defecation, then insert the peeled garlic into the rectum. The deeper the better the effect. Generally, the diarrhea will stop after inserting the garlic, and the stool will be in strips after five or six hours. Put one or two cloves each time for two or three days, and your bowel movements will return to normal. When using this method, you should pay attention to hand disinfection.

3. Navel compress for diarrhea

The author worked at a plateau over 5,000 meters above sea level in the winter of 1976. He suffered from diarrhea many times due to dampness and cold. Many medicines were ineffective and he was in great pain. Then apply white pepper powder or Yunnan Baiyao on the navel, cover it with sterilized cotton gauze, and seal it with tiger bone musk ointment or injury and dampness pain relief ointment. After a few hours, water will be discharged from the navel, and the abdominal pain and diarrhea will be cured.

4. Cooked garlic cloves can cure diarrhea in children

My grandson is only 10 months old and has been suffering from long-term abdominal pain and diarrhea. The child is young and cannot speak. Whenever he gets sick, he often cries and makes a fuss, and the whole family is disturbed. Although we have taken him to the hospital for injections and medication many times, the effect is very limited. Later, a comrade introduced a method: take some garlic cloves, roast them on the fire, then dip them in sugar and let the children eat them, 2 to 3 cloves each time, twice a day, morning, noon and evening. The effect will be seen after three days of eating, and the diarrhea will be cured in five or six days.

5. Eating cooked apples can cure diarrhea

My two-year-old girl suffers from frequent diarrhea, looks pale and thin, and has not grown taller. After many treatments, there is no improvement and the condition relapses sometimes. A colleague told me, "Try it with ripe apples." I gave my child steamed apples a few times, and it had an unexpected effect: his diarrhea was cured, and he gradually gained weight. The method is as follows: Put the washed apples in a bowl and steam them until soft. Remove the skin when eating, 3 to 5 times a day. The best effect is in the early stage of diarrhea in children.

6.． Applying fresh ginger to the navel can cure diarrhea in infants and young children

If infants and young children have diarrhea for a long time, they will recover; if the children are yellow and thin, adults will be in a state of emergency. You can chop fresh ginger into small pieces, put it on a piece of medicated cloth, stick it on your navel, and secure it with adhesive tape. This method is effective immediately and has been proven to work. But my husband, an adult, has tried it.

7. Two methods to treat diarrhea

When I was sent to work in the countryside in northern Shaanxi, I had diarrhea so badly that I couldn't get out of bed, and no medicine worked. Later, local farmers taught me: smash the garlic (single-headed ones are best), eat the noodles in a wok, the hotter the better, put the garlic on the noodles while they are still hot, do not add salt or other seasonings, take it while it is hot, and it will be fine after one eat. Zhao Qingrong uses 30 grams of brown sugar and 50 grams of strong liquor, puts them in a bowl, lights it on fire, stirs it while burning, until the sugar in the bowl is dissolved, and drinks it after it cools down a little.

Often when children have health problems, many parents are always caught off guard. After understanding what to do when a child has diarrhea, when such a situation occurs, you must first confirm what caused the child's diarrhea, and then choose the right medicine. Do not blindly give the child medicine. At the same time, you must pay special attention to the diet. Be sure to pay attention to the cleanliness of the diet. Try to give the child some porridge during diarrhea.
