What to do if your baby has diarrhea? What are the most effective symptoms of diarrhea in babies?

Generally speaking, babies who have just been born are very fragile, and their stomachs are also very fragile, so mothers should be very careful when taking care of their babies. Once the baby is fed with food that is not allowed to be eaten, it is very likely that the baby will have diarrhea. So what is the most effective way to deal with a baby with diarrhea? What are the symptoms of diarrhea in babies?

There are many reasons for infant diarrhea, such as cold, infection, allergy and other factors. Targeted treatment is needed according to different causes. First, go to the hospital for a checkup and check the stool routine to determine whether it is infectious. If the diarrhea is caused by rotavirus infection, the stool is characterized by watery or egg drop soup-like stool, with a large amount of stool, and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and even low fever. Stool microscopy can detect rotavirus positivity. If the stool is caused by bacterial infection, pus balls and even red blood cells can be found. These two diseases should be treated symptomatically according to different causes. If the stool is diarrhea caused by protein allergy, a small amount of white blood cells and red blood cells can be seen. At this time, if the mother is breastfeeding, she needs to avoid dairy products and eggs, such as milk and yogurt. Observe for about a month. If the baby's condition improves, breastfeeding can continue. If there is still no improvement, deep protein hydrolysis or amino acid milk powder can be used for feeding. If it is caused by cold, care should be strengthened, so that it will be effective.

Infant diarrhea mainly occurs in babies under 2 years old. Newborns usually defecate 2-5 times a day, and some babies defecate 7-8 times a day. Compared with artificial feeding, breastfed babies defecate more frequently. As the baby grows older, the number of bowel movements will gradually decrease, and after 2-3 months, the number of bowel movements will decrease to 1-2 times a day. Parents need to first understand the baby's normal bowel habits before they can tell whether he has diarrhea at the first time. In addition to paying attention to the number of bowel movements, parents should also pay attention to the shape of the stool. If the stool is more frequent than usual, the texture is thinner than usual, or even watery, it seems to be ejected from the buttocks. These may be the symptoms of infant diarrhea, which are usually accompanied by symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort such as loss of appetite and abdominal distension. The main symptoms of diarrhea in babies are: 1. Mild diarrhea: 5-6 bowel movements a day, or even more than 10 times, the stool is egg-drop-shaped or watery, yellow or yellow-green, with small white pieces, there may be low fever, milk regurgitation, good spirits and diet or slightly reduced, no weight gain or slightly reduced, no dehydration. 2.

4. Emotional and functional abnormalities, such as irritable bowel syndrome.
