Baby has diarrhea and low fever

Every change in the baby after birth is watched by the mother. Because many new mothers do not understand the baby's growth and development very well, sometimes their judgment of the baby's physical condition is not very accurate. It is common for babies to have diarrhea. Sometimes it is just diarrhea, and sometimes babies have diarrhea accompanied by a low fever. Now I will tell mothers what to do if babies have diarrhea and fever?

1. Is the baby's diarrhea and low-grade fever an inflammation?

Generally speaking, diarrhea in babies is mainly caused by indigestion, viral infection, bacterial infection, etc. If there is also a low fever, it may be an inflammation, such as enteritis. If this happens to your baby, you should undergo real-time examination before receiving treatment.

2. What to do if your baby has a fever and diarrhea

1. Physical cooling

When the baby has a fever or diarrhea, parents need to promptly perform physical cooling on the baby. Physical cooling methods include alcohol baths, warm water wiping, and ice pack cooling, which can relieve the baby's discomfort. Taking cooling measures in time can avoid high fever, which may cause convulsions in the baby.

2. Observe the baby's stool characteristics and the frequency of diarrhea

When a baby has a fever and diarrhea, parents need to observe the frequency of diarrhea and the nature of the baby's stool in time. What is in the stool? Is it watery stool, or is there some undigested food in the stool? This will help parents understand the cause of the baby's diarrhea. If there is undigested food in the stool, then it is caused by indigestion.

3. Pay attention to your diet

When the baby has a fever and diarrhea, parents also need to pay attention to the baby's diet. When the baby has a fever, the baby should be given light and easily digestible food, such as rice porridge, etc. At the same time, attention should be paid to replenishing water, because due to diarrhea, the baby will lose a lot of water, so the baby should eat more light liquid food in the diet.

If a baby has diarrhea and a low-grade fever, it may be due to inflammation, or it may be due to a coexistence of respiratory tract infection and indigestion. In short, in this case, we need to find out the cause before treating it. Once the baby is sick, parents will be restless. In order for the baby to have a healthy body and for parents to feel at ease, they must pay attention to strengthening the baby's physique. For example, eat more vegetables and fruits, take the baby to exercise outdoors frequently, and get more sun exposure.
