2-year-old baby vomits and has very smelly diarrhea

For parents, it is very important to pay attention to the baby's medical condition while taking care of the baby. Once the baby has some abnormal physical conditions, it must be treated in time. However, some parents find that their babies are only two years old and have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, and the vomit is very smelly. At this time, they cannot use medicines as casually as adults. So what should you do if your two-year-old baby has very smelly vomiting and diarrhea?

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

1. Because the local immunity and intestinal digestive system of infants and young children are not fully developed, they are easily infected by rotavirus and develop diarrhea. Rotavirus diarrhea is self-limiting and the course of the disease is generally 5-10 days. Most children will have no problems with recovery if properly cared for. If there are no serious symptoms such as vomiting, medication can be used at home. Of course, if diarrhea is accompanied by vomiting, you still need to go to the hospital in time for injections and infusions.

2. If the child's condition is caused by indigestion, do not eat first. You can drink some water to clean the gastrointestinal tract and restore the stomach function. Then drink some easily digestible food such as porridge, rice congee, and soft noodles. Do not eat eggs, milk, and other foods that are difficult to absorb. Wait until the stomach function is restored before eating.

3. Based on the child’s condition, it is considered to be acute gastroenteritis and should be treated with medication. Children don't pretend to be sick. It is recommended to apply hot compress around the navel and drink yogurt. Eat semi-liquid or liquid food that is easily digestible. It is recommended to go to the hospital's pediatric department for systematic diagnosis and treatment and medication Tianming. You can also give your child Mami Love, Xiaoer Xieliting, and rehydration salts for treatment.

2. Things to note when a 2-year-old baby has vomiting, diarrhea and fever

1. Irritating foods: Hot peppers, mustard, pepper, garlic and other highly irritating foods can irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, easily causing diarrhea or gastrointestinal inflammation, and are not conducive to the recovery of gastrointestinal function.

2. Too greasy food: Too greasy food will increase the burden on the stomach and cause diarrhea due to indigestion, which is typical fatty diarrhea. Therefore, people with diarrhea should not eat greasy food, as this will only aggravate the diarrhea.

3. Too cold food: Cold drinks, cold dishes and other too cold things will stimulate the intestines, speed up intestinal peristalsis and make diarrhea more serious.

4. Foods that have laxative and intestinal moisturizing effects: Foods that have laxative and intestinal moisturizing effects, such as peaches, bananas, honey, etc., will aggravate the condition after consumption.

5. Eggs: Eggs are high-protein foods and are difficult to digest. Eating eggs not only fails to nourish the body, but instead aggravates the condition.

6. Garlic: Although garlic has a bactericidal effect, it also has a strong irritating effect and can easily aggravate diarrhea.
