How long does it take for a baby to recover from viral diarrhea?

Baby's viral diarrhea is caused by inflammation due to viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract. The virus needs to be eliminated before the diarrhea can be treated. There are many types of viral infections. We should use medication to treat the gastrointestinal tract. In severe cases, the gastrointestinal tract needs to be cleaned. As for how long it takes for a baby to recover from viral diarrhea, it depends on each person's physical condition and the method of medication.

Viral diarrhea, also known as viral gastroenteritis, is a group of acute intestinal infectious diseases caused by viruses. Rotavirus is a common pathogen and is common in pediatric diarrhea. The clinical characteristics are acute onset, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, watery or loose stools, and may also be accompanied by fever and general discomfort.

Rotavirus infection can not only cause diarrhea, but also cause multi-system damage, adversely affecting the health of infants and young children, and even endangering their lives. According to statistics, worldwide, the number of children who die from rotavirus infection each year accounts for 17.5%-34% of the total number of children hospitalized with viral diarrhea. In developing countries, rotavirus diarrhea causes 600,000 to 870,000 deaths each year.

Why is the mortality rate from viral diarrhea so high?

In fact, it is not the viral diarrhea itself that causes the death of infants and young children, but often the inappropriate treatment methods. Some parents and even doctors do not conduct laboratory tests to determine the specific cause of diarrhea, but rely on "experience" to give their children antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. However, antibiotics have no effect on viruses. Instead, they kill beneficial intestinal bacteria, leading to intestinal flora imbalance, an increase in harmful bacteria, and the toxins produced that aggravate damage to the baby's intestinal mucosa. We all know that 70% of the human body's immunity comes from the intestines. Damage to the balance of flora and intestinal mucosa will destroy the baby's own immunity. This will result in the virus being unable to be cleared by our bodies, entering the blood through the damaged intestinal mucosa, and spreading throughout the body, causing viremia and multiple organ failure and death.

Warm reminder: If your baby has diarrhea, you must go to the hospital for examination to determine the cause of diarrhea and then take appropriate treatment.

So, how to treat viral diarrhea scientifically?

Due to the large number of virus types, poor cross-protection, and high variability, there is currently no specific drug for the virus. Resisting viral infection mainly depends on one's own ability to resist viral infection, which is what we often call "resistance" or "immunity". The intestine is the body's natural barrier of defense, and the body's immunity depends on mucosal immunity. Therefore, repairing intestinal mucosa and improving immunity are the main methods for treating viral diarrhea.

The World Health Organization recommends six criteria for selecting drugs for infectious diarrhea: high efficacy, oral administration, compatibility with oral rehydration solution, non-intestinal absorption, no effect on intestinal absorption function (especially the absorption of glucose and amino acids), and resistance to a range of intestinal pathogens.

Clostridium butyricum, which not only meets the above international standards but can also repair intestinal mucosa and enhance immunity, is undoubtedly an ideal medicine. Clostridium butyricum is a probiotic that is very safe and suitable for babies. Clostridium butyricum can produce a large amount of butyric acid, which directly affects the repair of the intestinal mucosa of babies with diarrhea, improves mucosal immunity, and can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, restore the balance of intestinal flora, enhance the biological barrier function, effectively prevent and treat viral diseases, reduce deaths, improve efficacy and reduce treatment costs.
