What to do if your 2-year-old baby has vomiting and diarrhea

Children aged 2 are in the period of growth, so their daily diet is particularly important. The food they eat should be fresh and hygienic, otherwise they are prone to diarrhea. Babies should pay attention to regular diet, eat on time every day, and not eat spicy, greasy, or cold food. Irritating food can easily cause poor digestion. Diarrhea and vomiting are relatively common in babies. What should I do if my 2-year-old baby has vomiting and diarrhea? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What should I do if my 2-year-old baby has vomiting and diarrhea?

Children have diarrhea and vomiting, which is a manifestation of gastrointestinal disease. Some children experience vomiting, diarrhea or fever. In this case, the cause must be identified, as it may be caused by a viral infection, a bacterial infection, or even a respiratory tract infection. If a child has diarrhea and vomiting in the outpatient clinic, and the stool and stomach examination are normal, then consider whether it is caused by respiratory tract infection.

2. What should children eat to be good for digestion?

1. Children’s digestive systems are different from adults’. The mucous membrane lining a child's digestive tract is more delicate. It is also more easily punctured by hard objects. Such as fish bones, nuts and so on. Moreover, children are more likely to choke if they laugh while eating.

2. When feeding your child, do not tease him/her intentionally. And don't joke around. Don't chase your child to feed him. Hard foods such as nuts can be cut into small pieces or ground into powder before feeding them to children.

3. When feeding children meals, complementary foods, or other foods, be sure to pay attention to the temperature. It should not be too hot, as it will burn the esophageal wall. It is also not recommended to feed children too spicy food. Children under one year old should not eat salt.

4. The health of the digestive system is closely related to your teeth. Therefore, we should pay more attention to dental hygiene in our daily life. When children are around three years old and can brush their teeth, they should be encouraged to brush their teeth and maintain oral hygiene. When children have not yet grown teeth, parents can use finger sleeves to massage the gums and clean the mouth.

3. What to pay attention to in daily life

1. Remind your children to brush their teeth and rinse their mouth after every meal, or after drinking milk or yogurt. Do not drink too cold water or too icy food to avoid irritating your teeth.

2. Try to give your children less sweets. Eating some chewed food is beneficial to the development of teeth. If you find that your child has any problems with his teeth, be sure to seek medical attention immediately. Long-term bad teeth will affect children's gums.

Eat more foods containing calcium and vitamin D. Promote calcium absorption.

3. Arrange the time of three meals reasonably, eat them at regular times and in regular quantities, and avoid overeating. Eat more green vegetables rich in dietary fiber to promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent constipation. If your child has a bloated stomach, you can massage his or her lower abdomen. Or pediatric massage.
