Diarrhea is a very torturous disease, not only adults can experience diarrhea, but also many young children in daily life are prone to diarrhea. Some young children may cry and feel uneasy due to discomfort after experiencing diarrhea, which is very painful for those who have just become parents, but they don't know what to do. So let's take a look at what to do with diarrhea in young children?
1. Physiological diarrhea: Some young children's diarrhea is physiological diarrhea, mainly because breast milk contains a lot of lactose. Before most of the lactose in it is broken down by the intestines, it will produce acid and gas, which will stimulate the intestines and cause diarrhea in young children. In addition, if young children eat too much starchy and sugary foods, diarrhea can also occur. Generally speaking, physiological diarrhea does not need treatment, as long as they take good care of young children, change diapers frequently, and clean their buttocks frequently to prevent redness and infection of their buttocks skin.
2. Pathological diarrhea: Pathological diarrhea is a common type of diarrhea in young children, which is mainly caused by bacterial or viral infections in their intestines. In addition to diarrhea, young children may also experience dehydration and high fever. Therefore, if you find that young children have this condition, you must go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
3. After parents discover that their child is experiencing diarrhea, if they cannot determine whether it is physiological or pathological diarrhea, it is best to take the baby to the hospital for a stool examination, and then take appropriate measures in a timely manner.
