What to pay attention to in children with winter diarrhea

Children are more likely to develop it in autumn and winter"Autumn and winter diarrhea"。Its main causative agent is rotavirus, which mainly infects the epithelial cells of the small intestinal mucosa, thereby causing damage to the intestinal epithelial cells and causing diarrhea. Its onset is mainly concentrated in late autumn and early winter, the colder season.

It is more common in infants and young children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years, and the nutritional status of the affected children is generally better, and the children with obesity are more common. Many children may have cold manifestations at the beginning of the disease, such as fever, cough, runny nose, followed by vomiting, diarrhea and other digestive tract discomfort, more frequent stools, ranging from several times a day to dozens of times, stools are watery or egg-like, with a sour smell. Fever and vomiting generally resolve after 2 days, but diarrhea can last for 3-5 days or a week, and rarely up to 2 weeks.

The disease is mostly mild, and can be combined with dehydration, acidosis, viral myocarditis, and even shock, which is life-threatening. The disease is highly contagious and is mainly transmitted through fecal-oral transmission but also through the respiratory tract through the air. In case of small diarrhea, parents should pay attention to observe the child's spirit, complexion, stool frequency and urine output, if found that the child has spirit (irritability, weak spirit), cold limbs, dry mouth, less tears, significantly reduced urine output, eyes closed, anterior chimney and eye sockets sunken, etc., should be quickly sent to the hospital for rescue, when going to the hospital, it is best to bring a fresh stool (within 1 hour of defecation) test.

It is important to adjust the diet during the diarrhea period in children, avoid raw, cold and greasy food, give light and easily digestible food, such as rice soup, rice porridge, diluted milk and skim yogurt, etc., and encourage children to drink more water. Cod liver oil should be stopped, while calcium tablets (doses) can be stopped. Infants and young children with diarrhea should change diapers frequently, and wash with warm water after each bowel movement to prevent urinary tract infection and hip inflammation.

The disease is symptomatic**, corrects dehydration, maintains electrolyte balance, and must be given intravenous fluids in severe dehydration. The key to preventing diarrhea in autumn and winter is to pay attention to personal hygiene, prevent diseases from entering the mouth, develop a good habit of washing hands before meals and after using the toilet, and do not eat unwashed melons and fruits. Prevention is difficult because rotavirus can persist for hours on the hands and days on toys and books.

Progress has been made in the development of rotavirus vaccines in recent years, and trials have begun in some countries.

We prevent pediatric diarrhea in the autumn and winter seasons, and the main preventive measures are as follows:

First, we should first pay attention to the hygiene of food and the sanitation of the surrounding environment. Food hygiene is first of all to pay attention to your hand hygiene, wash your hands frequently, especially before meals and after using the toilet. Try to keep your child's food clean and hygienic, and develop good hygiene habits.

Attention should also be paid to the hygiene of the tools used by children, especially the children's feeding bottles, spoons, bowls, chopsticks, etc. should be disinfected frequently.

Second, in terms of feeding, we advocate breastfeeding. Because there are some beneficial ingredients in breast milk, which can help increase the resistance of the child's gastrointestinal tract, and it is also necessary to add complementary foods appropriately.

Then we should not take our children to places where there are more crowds and poor air circulation, because there will be a large number of viruses and bacteria in such places to prevent cross-infection. The last is vaccination, and now there is a vaccine for rotavirus, which can be vaccinated by children, and has a certain protective effect on children.

1) Add complementary foods on time: When adding complementary foods, only one type of complementary food can be added at a time, and gradually increase. Generally, vitamin C and D are added in the first half of the month, vegetable soup, milk cake or rice cereal are added in 2 to 3 months, and egg yolk, minced meat and minced vegetables are added in 4 to 6 months.

2) Pay attention to food hygiene; Promote breastfeeding (avoid weaning in the summer and when the child is sick); Increase the reputation and respect for Yu to strengthen the physique and avoid the infection of Qing Roll.

3) Pay attention to the quality of diet: when breast milk is insufficient or mixed feeding, it is not advisable to give too much or too early rice cereal or porridge and other foods, and if the baby's breast milk is insufficient from birth to 3 months, it can be supplemented with milk or soy milk, whether it is cow's milk or milk substitutes, it needs to be properly diluted; When you have a loss of appetite, you should not force yourself to eat.

4) Hygiene and care in autumn and winter: Avoid abdominal cold when sleeping at night. When the weather is dry, feed plenty of water and avoid overeating or eating fatty foods. Take warm baths often. Anything taken out of the refrigerator should be heated before being given to the child.

Pediatric autumn diarrhea**:

1. The most important antidiarrheal is not in the first place, we first prevent and correct dehydration, the first is to prevent dehydration, when the child drains the stool for the first time, it is necessary to give enough liquid to prevent dehydration, breastfed children can increase the number of breastfeeding, prolong the time of breastfeeding, if it is a formula feeding or mixed feeding child, you can add hypotonic oral rehydration salts, you can give the child soup, and then drink some clean water to prevent dehydration, if it is a child under 6 months old, After each bowel movement, we can give the child a small amount of 50ml of liquid, how is it a child from 6 months to 2 years old, after each bowel movement, we can give 100ml of liquid, if it is a 2-10 year old child, after each bowel movement, we can give 150ml, if it is a child over 10 years old, you can drink it until the diarrhea stops, if it is a child with mild to moderate dehydration, oral rehydration salts should be given to 50-70ml per kilogram of body weight, and take it within four hours;

2. For children with diarrhea, we can give zinc gluconate oral solution;

3. We should continue to feed the child, the breastfed child continues to feed breast milk, if it is a formula-fed child or a child suspected of lactose intolerance, you can feed some lactose-free or low-lactose formula milk powder, if it is a child who has added complementary food, you can continue to eat the diet that you have been accustomed to, so as to prevent the child from secondary malnutrition;

4. There are also some drugs that can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

However, children who do not get better or who have any of the following symptoms must be taken to the hospital promptly. First, the diarrhea is particularly severe, with frequent or large stools; second, children who are unable to eat and drink normally; Third, the child has severe vomiting and cannot take oral medication; Fourth, if the baby is less than 3 months old, the body temperature is greater than 38, or the child is more than 3 months old, the body temperature is greater than 39, we have to send the doctor in time, if the child has obvious thirst, found that there is dehydration, if the stool is bleeding or less than 6 months old, premature infants, there is a history of chronic disease, usually a precursor to serious illness, the child should be sent to the hospital in time.

In the South, first of all, we need to know what autumn diarrhea is. Autumn diarrhoea is an acute enteritis caused by rotavirus. It mainly occurs in infants and young children under 2 years of age, especially under 1 and a half years of age. The onset season is mostly from September to November, so it is called autumn diarrhea.

How to prevent it. Infants and young children should wash their hands frequently, change their clothes frequently, wash toys regularly, and change clothes and toys should be regularly exposed to the sun, and ultraviolet rays can sterilize well. The room should be ventilated frequently, and it is rare to play in the closed space of public places, which is densely populated and has many infectious diseases, poor air circulation, and is easy to get sick.

In addition, young children should not come into contact with children who are already infected with the disease.

The third point is how to accept**. As mentioned earlier, most of the people infected with diarrhea in autumn are concentrated in children under 2 years old, but it does not mean that children over 2 years old will not be infected. My baby was infected when he was 3 and a half years old.

At the beginning, it was wild vomiting, basically vomiting at night and during the day, accompanied by loose stools, the symptoms were very urgent, and the water did not enter. Go to the hospital for stool tests, blood tests. It will show if you are infected with rotavirus.

Don't be nervous if you have an infection, the most important priority is to hydrate and drink rehydration salts. If you are mildly dehydrated, you can drink rehydration salts, and if you can't get a drop of water like our baby, you can only hang water rehydration salts. At the time, we didn't realize the importance of hydration, which led to dehydration convulsions.

Fortunately, we were okay later, serious dehydration can threaten the child's life, and we must replenish water as soon as possible. This disease has the characteristics of self-healing, and it will generally get better in about a week, so you only need to drink montmorillonite powder and drugs that regulate intestinal flora, and do not abuse antibiotics.

What should mothers do with diarrhea in winter? What should I pay attention to when it comes to nursing? Avoid colds.

In winter, there are many cold spells and the temperature can vary greatly, so children should stay warm in winter to avoid catching a cold. Get plenty of sun. The ultraviolet rays in the spring flush can kill viruses and bacteria on the surface of the human body, help young children absorb calcium and phosphorus, and enhance the body's ability to resist diseases.

In autumn and winter, babies are prone to diarrhea for many reasons. Now it is time to analyze the causes of diarrhea in infants and young children in winter and what should be paid attention to in terms of care?

Intestinal infections. The child's intestine is very fragile, so babies with bad intestines are prone to diarrhea, and they are also easily infected in the cold season, or because of fungal infections in the intestines, especially in the wet and cold season in the south, the baby is prone to diarrhea.

Improper diet. As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth, and there is a certain basis for this. If not handled properly, it can lead to diarrhea.

In fact, at present, when the baby does not have the ability to eat by himself, he has no teeth. In such a situation, many parents will often chew it and feed it to their children. This behavior is very common, especially in rural areas.

This behavior is very wrong. Adults have a lot of bacteria in their mouths. If you feed it like this, it will invisibly bring bacteria into the baby's stomach, and the baby's immunity is relatively poor.

In fact, in addition to eating, it is also easy to cause diarrhea, that is, cold, mainly because of the lack of clothes worn, or the navel becomes cold when taking a bath, so the baby must know the cause of diarrhea in winter, so that the symptom can be effective.

Avoid colds. In winter, there are many cold waves, and the temperature varies greatly. Children are prone to colds, which often cause many serious diseases, such as myocarditis, lobar pneumonia, acute nephritis, etc.

Therefore, children should stay warm in winter so that they do not catch colds. However, we also need to pay attention to moderation. Wearing too much without fighting will only make the child uncomfortable, inconvenient to move, and will also make the child more susceptible to colds when the temperature difference is too large.

In general, it is enough to wear an extra coat or vest than an adult. Back sweating, sweating is too warm, warm is just right.

Get plenty of sun. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can kill viruses and bacteria on the surface of the human body, help young children absorb calcium and phosphorus, and enhance the body's ability to resist disease. In addition, sunlight can also increase the oxygen content of red blood cells, enhance the temperature regulation, enhance the activity function of the nervous system, and enhance the physical fitness of young children.

Be mindful of what you eat. Winter is the season with the highest incidence of diarrhoea in infants and young children. At this time, if the baby has symptoms of diarrhea, then the first thing is to eat lightly.

Generally, babies are breastfed or some complementary foods, but babies who can eat by themselves must eat lightly, so that the symptoms are not easy to aggravate.

At this time, mothers should choose to put a warm baby on the baby's belly, or you can give the baby some hot water, in terms of nursing, you should pay attention to the rules of diet, pay attention to the lead do not eat high water content, and should also pay attention to keep warm, and should also pay attention to let the baby exercise appropriately.

You should pay attention to the baby's eating habits, mainly light, pay attention to hydration, avoid diarrhea leading to dehydration, and pay attention to keeping the baby warm; And should pay attention to the timely observation of the condition of Bao Zao Gao Mingbao, find the problem in time to solve it, from the fundamental land to increase the baby's resistance.

Mothers must pay attention to their children's diet, they can take their children to do a bowel routine, and they must wash their hands before eating to prevent bacterial infection.

Prevention is mainly done through lifestyle and diet.

1. Avoid eating raw and cold food, eat cooked food, drink boiled water, and wash hands frequently; Food should be kept in a clean container and re-placed in the refrigerator before boiling.

2. Do not take young children to crowded public places and avoid contact with children with diarrhea. Toys used by young children and furniture that can be touched should be rinsed with water frequently. Always wash your hands frequently before eating and after using the toilet.

When traveling, you must pay attention to food hygiene and safety. Tableware and cooking utensils are cleaned and disinfected before use, and dried after use.

3. Maintain good indoor air circulation to reduce the chance of viral infection. Pay attention to keep warm, and you should add or remove clothes appropriately according to the change of weather. Maintain adequate sleep and abundant nutrition, and have a hidden hall to help prevent intestinal cleansing and disorderly infectious diseases, pay attention to dietary hygiene, and prevent diseases from entering the mouth.

Fourth, we should pay attention to exercising more, enhance physical fitness, and organize children to participate in outdoor physical exercise to enhance physical fitness.

5. Get vaccinated against rotavirus. It is vaccinated once a year in July and September, before the onset of the autumn diarrhea epidemic season.

Autumn diarrhea is caused by rotavirus caused by the destruction of the balance of children's intestinal mucosa and intestinal flora, probiotic Baole'an** children's autumn diarrhea has a significant effect, this is because taking Baolean can quickly replenish Clostridium butyricum and butyric acid, improve children's body and intestinal immunity, effectively remove rotavirus, quickly eliminate inflammation, repair children's damaged intestinal mucosa, restore intestinal flora balance, and establish a biological protective barrier.

During the period of high incidence of rotavirus, try not to take a baby.

Go to crowded places and avoid contact with infection. Pay attention to indoor air circulation. Which burns.
