Can babies who are exclusively breastfed get rotavirus?

Rotavirus is a type of virus that primarily infects the epithelial cells of the small intestine, causing cell damage and causing diarrhea. Rotavirus is endemic in summer, autumn and winter every year, and the route of infection is the fecal-oral route.

In China, the number of infants and young children under the age of 0 2 is about 40 million (including newborns), and about 10 million infants and young children suffer from rotavirus infectious gastroenteritis every year, accounting for 1 4 of the number of infants and young children, which is the most important pathogen causing severe diarrhea in infants and young children.

Rotavirus vaccines are live attenuated recombinant vaccines. The main target of vaccination is infants and young children under 2 months old and under 5 years old. How to use: Open the cap by hand, suck the vaccine with a straw, and feed it directly to infants and young children, the dosage is 3ml orally per person at a time, and do not take it with hot water.

Vaccinations can reduce infection!

Can babies who are infected with rotavirus eat breast milk?Continued breastfeeding is not recommended

Because rothalovirus infection can lead to lactose intolerance in children, it can worsen the severity of diarrhea. Lactose is the main carbohydrate in breast milk, and children may develop lactose intolerance on the second day of diarrhea for several weeks, so it is best not to continue breastfeeding after rotavirus infection.

What to eat if your baby is infected with rotavirus1. Diarrhea milk powder:

The function of diarrhea milk powder is to reduce the symptoms of diarrhea in infants and young children, but its nutritional composition is not significantly different from other milk powders, but by replacing the lactose in ordinary milk powder with maltodextrin or glucose polymer, it can change the symptoms of diarrhea aggravated by lactose.

2. Porridge and rice soup

Porridge and rice soup are liquid semi-liquid foods, easy to digest and absorb, which is beneficial to the baby's fragile stomach and intestines after being infected with rotavirus, and will not increase the burden on the stomach and intestines.

3. Carrot soup:

Wash, chop, boil fresh carrots, wrap them in gauze to squeeze out the fibers, add water to the extruded puree with a weight ratio of 1:2, and add sugar to make carrot soup and feed it to children. Because carrots have the effect of promoting stool formation and adsorbing viruses and their toxins, the balance is conducive to the excretion of viruses from the body.

What to do if your baby is infected with rotavirus and only drinks breast milkWhen a young child is infected with rotavirus, he or she is lactose intolerant and wants to continue breastfeedingLactase may be added

Because rotavirus infection can damage the mucosal villi of the small intestine, the lactase in the small intestine is depleted and deficient, so that lactose cannot be broken down normally, and the lactose content increases after ingestion of breast milk, and the inability to consume and absorb the symptoms of diarrhea is aggravated. Therefore, if you want to continue breastfeeding, you can add lactase at the same time.

If you come into contact with other children, or something, this thing is easy to infect, such as eating hands, and the main reason is that the baby's physique is weak.

It can't be said that rotavirus is a virus that is infected, not caused.

It is the main cause of diarrhea in infants and young children, rotavirus epidemic every year in summer, autumn and winter, the route of infection is the fecal-oral route, the clinical manifestations are acute gastroenteritis, osmotic diarrheal disease, the course of the disease is generally 7 days, fever lasts for 3 days, vomiting 2 3 days, diarrhea 5 days, severe dehydration symptoms.

Rotavirus is transmitted by the fecal-oral route, through contact with soiled hands, soiled surfaces, and soiled objects, and possibly through the respiratory route [1]. The feces of infected patients can contain more than 100 billion infectious virus particles per gram; Only 10 to 100 of them can be transmitted to infect another person. Rotavirus is stable in the natural environment and can also be found in estuarine samples, which can contain approximately 1 to 5 infectious rotavirus particles per US gallon.

Bacterial and parasite sanitation facilities appear to be ineffective for rotavirus control, as the incidence of rotavirus infection is similar in countries with high and low levels of hygiene.

Older children can also be infected with rotavirus, so it is important to be careful.

Yes, rotavirus is a contagious disease of the digestive system. Rotavirus itself is contagious, and it is currently recommended that it be best to take precautions to isolate yourself, especially by separating bodily fluids from stool. Consider the use of antiviral drugs**, if diarrhea symptoms occur, oral montmorillonite powder is required to relieve it.
