What is indigestion and diarrhea?
Indigestion and loose stools are a digestive disorder syndrome caused by multiple factors such as food intake patterns, body metabolism, immune system, and intestinal flora. It leads to increased bowel movements and thin and watery stools. Infants, young children, and preschool children have fragile immune systems and are more likely to be infected with enteroviruses and bacteria, causing indigestion and diarrhea. For children, this situation is unavoidable, and parents can only treat and prevent it through the common diarrhea first aid methods at home.
What are the common first aid methods for diarrhea?
1. Keep your child hydrated. Water will be lost during diarrhea. In order to avoid aggravation of dehydration symptoms, children should drink more liquid drinks such as water and juice to help replenish the lost water.
2. It is advisable to eat lightly. During diarrhea, the child\’s gastrointestinal tract\’s ability to digest and absorb food will decrease. It is not advisable to eat greasy and irritating food. It is recommended to feed the child some light porridge, rice soup and other semi-liquid diets.
3. Avoid children eating raw or cold food. Raw and cold foods are not easy to digest and will increase the burden on the digestive tract. They should not be eaten when you have diarrhea to avoid aggravating symptoms.
Make a home first aid kit
1. Salt water and baking soda oral solution. Mix baking soda liquid with salt water and take it several times a day to help neutralize the acidity in the intestines and relieve diarrhea symptoms.
2. Snake gallbladder and Morinda citrifolia powder. Snake gallbladder powder contains various traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, which can enhance the immune system and digestive function and help restore intestinal health.
3. Ginseng and Deer Antler Oral Liquid. Ingredients such as ginseng and velvet antler can enhance the body\’s immunity and help restore digestive function. They are used as one of the family\’s standing first aid products.
Dietary precautions after diarrhea ends
1. Excessive water supplementation may lead to hyponatremia, dehydration and other symptoms. Children should drink an appropriate amount of water.
2. During the period of diarrhea, the child\’s intestinal tract has a low ability to digest and absorb food. After the diarrhea is over, the child needs to gradually adapt to a normal diet and should not eat overly exciting foods.
3. After diarrhea, children’s intestinal immunity is weak and prone to infection. They need to pay attention to daily hygiene, ensure the cleanliness of the environment, and provide children with a warm, comfortable, and healthy living environment.
Summary
Diarrhea is a common disease in children\’s growth, especially in infants and preschoolers. In addition to taking good care of their children, parents must have a reasonable grasp of the first aid methods for diarrhea and the emergency supplies that are always available at home, so that they can receive timely and effective treatment, avoid aggravation of the condition, reduce the impact on their children, and allow their children to grow up healthier and safer.
