Enteritis is a relatively harmful intestinal infection disease, especially when it occurs in babies, who will only experience some physical symptoms reflexively. But not all stomach pains in babies nowadays are caused by enteritis. So, will babies with enteritis have stomach pain?
Generally speaking, if a baby has enteritis, their stomach will be painful. Gastroenteritis often occurs in babies of all ages. The biggest reason should be that adults may not have sufficient hand hygiene when preparing food, or sometimes babies may not wash their hands when eating, resulting in some unclean food. It is also possible that food is improperly stored and contaminated with bacteria and viruses. In addition, adults may not fully heat it when cooking, and directly eat it into the intestines and stomach, causing gastrointestinal infections and triggering gastroenteritis.
In principle, when a baby's gastroenteritis is accompanied by some adverse respiratory symptoms, such as sore throat or cold, they will first suspect whether it is a viral infection. In fact, regardless of whether the cause of gastroenteritis is due to viral infection or not, their incubation period is generally 1-2 days, and after that time, they will develop symptoms such as abdominal pain. However, gastroenteritis does not necessarily lead to acute diarrhea. Some babies may suffer from gastroenteritis, but they may only experience fever or bloating, which adults should not underestimate.
To prevent this situation from occurring, it is necessary to pay more attention to hygiene, such as washing hands frequently after going to the bathroom, before eating, or before preparing food. For meat, it must be cooked as thoroughly as possible, and fruits and vegetables must be washed before consumption. In addition, it is best to store leftover food in a refrigerator with a moderate temperature. If something is invaded by bacteria, it is best to replace and clean it immediately.
