How to prevent baby food poisoning How to prevent baby food poisoning

The baby's diet is something that all mothers have been concerned about since the baby is born. The baby's gastrointestinal digestive function is relatively fragile, and many foods are not suitable for babies to eat, which may cause food poisoning. Therefore, to prevent baby food poisoning, start with the baby's mouth.

1. Food should be safe. Parents should make sure that the source of food is safe and reliable. Do not buy or let babies eat the following foods: wild mushrooms, fish and shrimp caught in the wild, expired milk, broken cans, rotten fruits, moldy or sprouted vegetables, etc. In particular, moldy or sprouted foods should not be eaten, even if the moldy or sprouted parts are removed.

2. The cooking process must be hygienic. Parents should keep the kitchen, kitchen utensils and tableware clean, and frequently use a disinfection cabinet or high-temperature boiling to disinfect and sterilize; wash hands before cooking, and wear gloves if there are wounds on hands; ensure that food is thoroughly cooked, especially meat and eggs; cooked food should be eaten within 2 hours, especially in summer.

3. Pay attention to food storage. Leftover food should be placed in a sealed container or wrapped in plastic wrap when put into the refrigerator. Be careful not to mix foods, and separate raw and cooked food. When reheating food stored in the refrigerator, it should be thoroughly heated and cooked to kill bacteria.

1. It is best to induce vomiting as soon as possible to prevent further absorption of toxins. You can use your fingers or chopsticks to stimulate the child's throat wall.

2. If the child is too young or unconscious, vomiting is not recommended. Vomiting should be performed on children who are awake and conscious.

3. When inducing vomiting, be sure to keep the child leaning forward, otherwise it will easily cause vomitus to flow down and cause suffocation.

4. You should go to the hospital immediately after inducing vomiting, and the doctor will provide further treatment based on the child's specific situation.

The so-called minor food poisoning usually manifests itself as vomiting, fever, diarrhea, etc. If a child has these symptoms, parents need to take the child to the hospital for a check-up in time. Because there is a proportional risk under certain circumstances, it is more reassuring to have a doctor's treatment.

If the baby shows signs of poisoning, timely treatment and termination should be given, and you can call 120 for help. You can also take the child to the hospital for gastric lavage or enema. You can also immediately take out the contents of the child's mouth and induce vomiting, and contact the nearest hospital to help with emergency treatment.

Therefore, parents should learn more about food poisoning safety knowledge in the future, and then understand the symptoms of food poisoning and how to prevent food poisoning. Because when children have food poisoning, if it is not handled in time, it will have certain consequences, and it may even endanger their lives.

If a fever occurs due to food poisoning, it is considered to be an intestinal infection or sepsis caused by bacterial food poisoning. This fever cannot heal itself and needs to be further diagnosed and treated in the hospital. It must be treated with vomiting, gastric lavage, catharsis, fluid replacement and anti-infection. At the same time, relevant examinations are required, such as blood routine, liver and kidney function, stool routine, stool culture, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, endotoxin, etc., to assess the extent of infection and adjust antibiotic treatment according to the extent of infection. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, etc., so it is recommended to pay attention to diet, avoid eating unclean and raw and cold food, and reduce the occurrence of food poisoning.
