Indigestion and diarrhea in children

With the continuous improvement of modernization, people's quality of life is also constantly improving, people's living standards are also constantly improving, and people's lifestyles are also constantly improving. It is precisely because of this situation that what people do is also constantly improving, but these things are also relatively good, and this kind of indigestion and diarrhea in young children is one of them.

In fact, this kind of indigestion and diarrhea in young children is quite common in our daily life, so people don’t need to worry too much about it. Here is some information about this kind of indigestion and diarrhea in young children.

Diarrhea (including enteritis) is one of the most common diseases in children, especially infants and young children. Currently, not all children with diarrhea need to be hospitalized. Most of them can be treated with medication and care at home. Therefore, parents should master some knowledge about caring for children with diarrhea.

Children with diarrhea should adjust their diet. If a child is currently taking complementary foods, stop feeding them or reduce the frequency and amount of complementary foods. Young children should stop feeding foods high in oil and meat. If there is breast milk, the baby should try to eat breast milk.

Children with nausea and vomiting should be fed with water and food slowly in small amounts and multiple times, in addition to easily digestible food. When diarrhea and vomiting are particularly severe, you can feed less food 1~2 times. Long-term fasting is not recommended now because it is not good for children.

The most common symptom of acute diarrhea is dehydration, so it is very important to supplement fluids to correct dehydration; even in the case of acute diarrhea, the small intestine still retains 60% of its digestion and absorption capacity, so eating early can alleviate symptoms and improve nutritional status; fasting time should not exceed 24 hours, and consider giving porridge, potatoes or sugar-rich foods when you first start eating, and avoid too greasy foods.

Although the use of antidiarrheal drugs can stop diarrhea, it also reduces intestinal motility, making it difficult for toxins to be excreted and causing bacterial growth. In addition, children who are breastfed when they are young have better intestinal resistance. Therefore, promoting breastfeeding is also helpful in preventing diarrhea in children.

Through the above understanding and introduction, I believe everyone can have a certain understanding of this kind of indigestion and diarrhea in young children. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can get help from the above knowledge. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can do more exercises suitable for themselves in daily life. At the same time, I also hope to develop a habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
