What to do if your baby has diarrhea due to heat

Diarrhea is one of the most common symptoms in babies. There are many reasons for this condition. Some people have diarrhea due to catching a cold, some have diarrhea after being exposed to heat, and some have diarrhea after eating something bad. Many mothers don’t know how to cure their babies’ diarrhea caused by heat. First, they need to determine whether the baby’s diarrhea is caused by heat through the baby’s stool, and then treat it according to the symptoms.

First, what are the symptoms of baby’s stool being dry due to heat? The stool will become dry after being heated. Pay attention to strengthening the care of your child, closely observe your child's physical changes, and take your child outside to bask in the sun more often. Giving your child more water and eating more vegetables and fruits can promote bowel movements.

Second, the baby's stool at this time should be dark and dry. I personally think this is related to getting a sore throat. You can give your child more vegetables and fruits that can reduce heat, and you can also use Seven Star Tea. Seven Star Tea Granules for Children are effective in treating symptoms of heat in children, such as dry stools, yellow urine, mouth ulcers, and poor sleep. Children can eat it during the confinement period, it has no effect.

Third, if breastfeeding, as long as the baby has a normal milk intake, is in a good mood, sleeps well, and gains weight normally. Generally no special treatment is required. When the baby is not full, the intestinal motility will speed up and the stool will appear green. In this case, just increase the amount of milk and let the baby eat enough, then the stool will be green. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. If the baby not only has green stools, but also has frequent bowel movements with a lot of water, and has diarrhea, you should go to the hospital in time to check the stool and then receive symptomatic treatment.

What are the symptoms of babies having stools due to heat? Under normal circumstances, the baby's stool is yellow or yellow-green soft stool, and occasionally there are milk curds (mostly due to indigestion). If green stools appear, there are rarely any symptoms of illness, which is within the normal range. You can increase breast milk intake, which may improve the situation. When the baby's stool changes color to white mucus, grayish white, watery, black (in this case there may be blood in the stool, or it may be related to iron intake), or watery stool separation, you need to take the baby to the hospital for stool testing. After ruling out the disease factors, the doctor will make reasonable guidance and suggestions based on the mother's diet and the baby's feeding situation.
