Causes of white blood cells in stool

The presence of white blood cells in stool is a common intestinal disease in babies. The emergence of this problem has always troubled many babies' families. Not only are the babies troubled by this problem and often cry and feel uncomfortable, but the family members are also at a loss and worry about whether there is something wrong with the baby's body. How serious is the problem of white blood cells in stool? Below is an introduction to this disease and related suggestions. Family members of babies with this problem can come in and take a look according to the situation.

The presence of white blood cells in the stool indicates enteritis. Enteritis needs to be treated promptly to avoid delaying the disease. You cannot take polio pills when you have enteritis. The most common causes of diarrhea in babies are indigestion and enteritis.

Generally, if a child's stool is mixed with foam, it often indicates that the child has indigestion. Only when the child's digestion is poor and there are too many food residues, which are fermented and gasified by bacteria in the intestines, will the stool be mixed with foam.

In addition, the presence of foam in the stool may be related to the child crying for too long and swallowing a lot of air. If the child also vomits up milk, the vomited milk has a sour smell, or is accompanied by undigested milk lumps, or has abdominal distension (the child lies flat on the bed with the abdomen higher than the chest), the stool is accompanied by foam, without mucus or pus and blood, the frequency of bowel movements is just increased, and the stool is still yellow or a little light green and paste-like, or loose and rotten, then it is indigestion.

You can feed some digestive water to help, or you can feed some Mommy Love to adjust the intestinal flora, and Smecta to stop diarrhea, etc. If the child also has severe vomiting, or even vomits after eating, or has paroxysmal crying that can be relieved on its own, and the nature of the stool has changed significantly, becoming egg drop soup-like or watery, or accompanied by mucus, etc., then there is a high possibility of enteritis. This requires timely medical treatment, and a routine stool test can assist in the diagnosis.

If a child has diarrhea and cries continuously, is in poor spirits, and his stool is tomato-like, then you should be alert to intussusception. If the stool also has a very fishy odor, then you should be alert to necrotizing enterocolitis.

What you need to pay attention to in nursing is: because the child's digestive function will be affected when he has enteritis, you can feed some pepsin and digestive water to help, such as "Shidele" digestive water.

If the child is fed with milk powder, it is recommended to use diarrhea milk powder specially formulated for children with diarrhea. If it is temporarily unavailable, it is recommended to dilute the milk a little;

If the child is breastfed, the mother's diet should be light and nutritious, and she should not eat too greasy food. The mother can also take "Changlekang" to help, which is good for the child's recovery. Because I advocate that the treatment of children's diarrhea should be "treated by both mother and child".

In addition, because the child has to poop more often, the little bottom will definitely suffer. It is recommended that you try not to wrap the little bottom too tightly, and wash the bottom with water as much as possible, while ensuring that the child does not get cold.

If you use a cloth to wash, you cannot wipe it, but have to press it, and be sure to be gentle, so as not to easily damage the baby's delicate skin, otherwise the baby may cry very loudly - if the child cries very loudly for no reason, pay attention to see if the skin on the buttocks is red, the child is uncomfortable.

To prevent this diaper dermatitis, you can also apply a layer of ointment, such as tetracycline ointment or eye ointment, on your child's butt every time you wash him or her.
