Most mothers who have taken care of their children have experienced diarrhea in their children. In fact, diarrhea is a common phenomenon in infants, and many times parents may think that diarrhea in their children is caused by eating something bad or catching a cold in the stomach. Indeed, in most cases, diarrhea in infants is due to gastrointestinal discomfort or a cold in the abdomen, but there are also times when diarrhea in infants is caused by shock. Many mothers may feel curious when they see this, 'What, can a baby also contract diarrhea when scared?' Yes, babies can contract diarrhea when scared.
Babies may become weak when frightened
As the saying goes, I was so scared that I wet my pants. For young babies, they may also feel scared and weak. According to the theory of Western medicine, there is a term for "infantile convulsions". Western medicine believes that children's neurological development is not yet complete, and once they are startled, they will disturb their mind and cause a series of symptoms, such as restlessness, loss of appetite, fever, and diarrhea. It can be seen that infants may become weak when frightened. Children cannot express themselves, and parents often have no idea that their children are frightened by them. Children are still young, and many adults believe that normal phenomena can cause them to be frightened, such as suddenly being in a strange crowd, thunder, noisy sounds, adults suddenly playing with children, falling, etc.
How to deal with infants who are frightened and diarrhea
Infantile diarrhea caused by shock is a common pediatric disease. Therefore, when a baby experiences this situation, parents do not need to worry too much. Children, especially those under 2 years old, are prone to this situation. Parents may easily think that their child has eaten undigested food, caught a cold, or had poor absorption of breast milk, leading to diarrhea. I haven't found the real reason for the child's diarrhea. In fact, children are much more sensitive than we imagine. When mothers notice that their babies have diarrhea, they can also think about whether their children have been stimulated recently. This actually provides us with a different approach when treating children's diarrhea. At the same time, adults should also pay attention to creating a stable atmosphere for children when taking care of them, and comfort them in a timely manner when they are frightened.
There will always be many problems in the process of children's growth, and the process of parents accompanying their children to grow up is also a continuous learning process. Many novice parents are anxious when their children are sick, and they quickly run to the hospital holding their children. In fact, when a child is sick, parents must remain calm and patient, carefully observe the child's condition, and identify the cause of the child's illness in order to prescribe the right medicine.
