Many babies of one to three years old have developed gastrointestinal system, which is not particularly good. Therefore, at this stage, diarrhea is prone to occur.
And frequent diarrhea is not a good sign for the baby's health. But sometimes, the baby's diarrhea is a normal response phenomenon of the body's self-protection mechanism. Therefore, parents need to distinguish carefully, which kind of situation is the baby's diarrhea?
The youngest daughter of colleague Chen Yi is only two years old now, and she usually has diarrhea. But this kind of diarrhea is not very frequent, so Chen Yi did not take the child to the hospital for examination, but went to the clinic near his home to get the child some medicine.
This kind of temporary emergency, while neglecting to pay attention to the child's diarrhea phenomenon in peacetime, may cause the child to have frequent diarrhea.
Based on the above considerations, parents should pay more attention to their children's usual health, observe the frequency of their children's usual diarrhea, and understand the knowledge of why children have diarrhea. Next, I will lead all the parents to understand some important knowledge points about children with diarrhea.
01, Why do children have diarrhea?
The child’s gastrointestinal system and immune system are in the developing stage, and it is easy to cause diarrhea due to improper food intake and external stimulation. The specific reasons are as follows:
Diarrhea caused by indigestion
Babies around 1-3 years old are in the stage of growth and development. Therefore, when parents prepare food for their children, they must be very careful and follow the doctor's guidance.
At this stage, some children cannot adapt to some complementary foods. Milk powder and rice cereal are the main foods for children of this age. Therefore, large intake of other foods may cause indigestion. At the same time, babies of this age are still in various stages of development, such as language and behavioral expression, and they are still learning and developing.
Therefore, the child may have indigestion after ingesting food, but because he still can’t express it, there is no way to tell the parent in time.
Strong stimulus from the outside
The baby’s body immunity is not as good as that of adults. When the outside temperature is very cold or very hot, the baby cannot cope with this. A strong external stimulus.
Especially when the temperature drops sharply, some parents are worried that their children will be attacked by the cold, and they put more clothes on the children, which may cause the children to get hot.
And when the temperature suddenly rises, some parents worry that their children are too hot, so they wear less clothes.
Both of these conditions may cause the child to be exposed to external stimuli, excessive cold or excessive heat, and therefore abdominal discomfort.
In addition, children at this age are particularly vulnerable to fright. If there is a sudden loud noise from the outside world, or the baby is frightened and stimulated because of something, it may cause the child to fail to sleep peacefully at night.
Crying for a long time, children are very prone to diarrhea under this kind of strong stimulation.
Contact with allergens
Some babies are allergic to certain items, and different babies have different allergies.
There is a class of babies with special physique that will have diarrhea due to contact with allergens. Such contact includes touching with hands, or smelling the allergen, or ingesting allergic food.
and the degree of diarrhea of babies exposed to allergens is more severe than the first two reasons. For example, some babies who are lactose intolerant will have diarrhea.
02、1- What problems will diarrhea bring to a 3-year-old child?
Some parents do not pay much attention to the child’s diarrhea, but the child’s long-term diarrhea will bring a lot of burden to the health of the child.
1) leads to malnutrition and decreased resistance
For babies at this age, once they have frequent diarrhea, they will be fragile. The intestinal system is more difficult to withstand normal physiological operations. The nutrients that should be absorbed by the child's intestines may be lost due to diarrhea.
And the child's own resistance is relatively weak at this age, so if there are chronic diarrhea, and persistent diarrhea and other current conditions, it may further reduce the baby's resistance.
It is well known that once a child's resistance declines, other diseases may occur.
2) appears multiple Common gastrointestinal complications
When a child has diarrhea, the body will lose normal standards The moisture and normal electrolyte content.
If parents do not pay attention to this point in time, it is possible that when the child has diarrhea, he cannot effectively obtain enough water and sufficient electrolytes from the food intake. At the same time, due to diarrhea, the baby’s internal body Related substances are gradually lost in the form of intestinal juice and cannot meet the normal health standards of the human body.
Once the baby's body is out of balance, it may cause diarrhea infection, and severe viral myocarditis may occur. At the same time, intussusception is also a cause of extremely high incidence in children of this age. This is because the baby's diarrhea causes the gastrointestinal peristalsis to not proceed normally, so intestinal cramps occur.
3) Reduces the child’s appetite and harms the child’s physical health
If children of this age have diarrhea, and if they do not take the child’s medication in time, change the child’s frequency Diarrhea may reduce the appetite of the child in this uncomfortable state.
After all, when a child is unable to defecate normally, it is difficult for a child to have the idea of ingesting food, but the baby’s body is in development, so it sends out a signal to eat physiologically. The child’s physical needs are related to the child’s There was a contradiction in mental thinking.
At this time, the child cannot control his emotions and thoughts with reason. Even if the child is hungry, there is no way to eat food. If a child loses his appetite due to diarrhea, it is physically harmful to the child's health.
So parents must pay attention to the frequency and degree of diarrhea when their children have diarrhea. Don’t think that diarrhea is just a small incident that happens occasionally.
03、How to solve the problem of diarrhea in children?
After understanding the hazards of diarrhea in children, you should be aware of this to prevent and protect the health of your child’s stomach and intestines. The following measures can be taken.
Parents pay attention to their children's food
Different children's stomachs and intestines show different characteristics. Some children's stomachs are very fragile and cannot take in some indigestible foods.
Therefore, parents should prepare suitable food for their children according to their children's gastrointestinal physiology. They can start from the diet to regulate their children's stomach.
Millet soup is a kind of food that warms the human intestines and stomach, and radish contains vitamins, so you can prepare radish chopped soup for children.
Not only that, in the fish soupIt also contains a lot of nutrients. In particular, crucian carp soup is a kind of food that is especially warm and nourishing. When the child's stomach can adapt to these foods, parents can prepare these foods with nutrients and a balanced diet for the child in an appropriate degree.
If you add some foods that can warm and protect the stomach and intestines for a long time and are easy to absorb, it may relieve the child’s usual symptoms of diarrhea.
When the child suddenly has diarrhea, parents must not give the child a lot of fat and meat food, try to let the child drink a little rice porridge, eat some light dishes. In this way, the child's intestines and stomach can be prevented from being further stimulated.
Supplement the child with enough water
As mentioned above, if the child has severe diarrhea, it may cause the child to not get enough food. The amount of moisture will cause the child to become dehydrated.
Therefore, at this time, parents must supervise and urge the child to feed enough warm water to drink. This is because the child's intake of moderate boiled water during diarrhea can clean up the intestines and stomach, and can also help the child get enough water to avoid dehydration.
In addition, compared with other beverages, warm boiled water is milder and non-irritating. Children drinking warm boiled water has a certain degree of soothing effect on the spleen and stomach.
Parents pay attention to keeping the child’s belly warm
Sometimes the child has diarrhea due to the invasion of wind and cold from the outside. Therefore, at this time, parents must pay attention to adequately give the child’s belly Defense and protection work.
For example: you can choose to put a warm baby on your child’s clothes, or prepare a small hot water bottle to put on the child’s abdomen to protect the child’s belly. This can relieve the child’s cold stomach and relieve the child’s diarrhea symptoms.
Parents can 给 The child performs drug conditioning
Sometimes the child’s diarrhea is not because of temporary external stimuli, but because of the child’s usual time. The stomach and intestines are not adequately protected, so when parents find that their children have serious diarrhea, parents must pay more attention to this matter.
At this time, parents need to take their children to the local children's hospital or a clinic near their home for examination.
Follow the doctor’s advice to give the child medicine and help the child’s gastrointestinal regulation. It is also a necessary means to solve the child’s diarrhea. At the same time, parents should also follow the doctor’s doctor’s advice and do not over-take medicine for the child, let alone indulge the child. Instead of giving the child medicine.
In the above, I mainly talked about the reasons for children's diarrhea, and what problems the children's diarrhea will bring to the health of the children. Finally, I also provided parents with a few suggestions to solve the children's diarrhea.
I hope that parents can learn from the content in this article that the child diarrhea is not a trivial matter.
Because physical health is particularly important for 1-3 years old babies, but babies at this age cannot describe their feelings in accurate language, so parents need to be more concerned about their children’s health Attention.
Moms and dads, it is necessary to implement related work to protect the child's stomach and intestines, only to find that the child has diarrhea. If it is severe, take the child to the Children's Hospital for examination.
