What should I do if my baby has indigestion and diarrhea?

The baby's body is very fragile and has not yet fully developed in all aspects. If he eats something wrong, he will have diarrhea. Mothers are very worried about this. Although we take great care of our children on a daily basis, this kind of situation is bound to occur. So what should you do if your baby has indigestion and diarrhea? Don’t worry, here are some tips to help mothers.

1. Diet adjustment.

If your baby has diarrhea, do not let him drink cold drinks or eat cold food during this period, as this will aggravate the baby's diarrhea. It is best to give your baby some hot food and hot water. At the same time, give your baby some easily digestible food, such as millet and mung bean porridge, or vegetable porridge.

In addition, if the baby is breastfeeding, continue to breastfeed. If the baby is in the complementary food addition period, temporarily postpone the addition of complementary food.

2 Use antibiotics with caution.

For this type of non-infectious pediatric diarrhea, it is not recommended to give babies antibiotics. If excessive use of antibiotics occurs, it will lead to intestinal flora disorders and antibiotic-induced intestinal infections may occur.

3. Replenish water and salt in time.

Because babies have diarrhea, they lose too much water and salt. If the lost electrolytes are not replenished in time, the baby will easily become dehydrated. Therefore, in order to prevent dehydration in babies with diarrhea, they must be replenished with salt water in time.

4 Take good care of your red buttocks.

Infants and young children have delicate skin and low resistance. If diaper rash is not treated promptly and properly, it will lead to infection. Early care is extremely important. In case of mild red buttocks, clean it with clean water, then wipe it gently with a sterilized soft cloth, expose the affected area, dry it with a hair dryer, and after hot hair drying, use a sterilized cotton swab to apply phenolic lotion to the affected area. The care method for moderate diaper rash is no different from that for mild diaper rash, except that you should apply Pervisone.

5 Go to the hospital for treatment in time.

If the baby's abdominal distension symptoms do not ease for a long time, or the baby becomes lethargic or dehydrated, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the baby's condition.

What should I do if my baby has indigestion? Actually, mothers, don’t worry. If the situation is not serious, there is no need to go to the hospital. Here are several methods recommended to you. This type of non-infectious diarrhea is relatively easy to treat. As long as mothers handle it properly, it will have little effect on the baby and the baby will recover quickly. Of course, in serious cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
