Babies are prone to diarrhea due to catching a cold or eating bad food. Many mothers habitually use belly button patches for their babies when they have diarrhea, thinking that no matter what the cause of the baby's diarrhea is, it seems that belly button patches can always cure the baby's diarrhea. So, is Baobao belly button patch effective?
1. Whether belly button patches are effective when a baby experiences diarrhea depends on the situation. If a baby's diarrhea is caused by catching a cold at night or eating cold drinks, then applying belly button patches to the baby may be useful because belly button patches have the function of dispelling cold and strengthening the spleen, which can effectively relieve diarrhea. But if the baby also experiences cold symptoms such as runny nose, these belly button patches are not effective.
2. If the cause of diarrhea is eating bad food or bacterial infection, then navel patches have no effect. Because navel patches cannot eliminate bacteria or viruses at all, relying solely on them may delay treatment and lead to more severe diarrhea. Generally speaking, bacterial infections can cause frequent diarrhea, watery stools, and symptoms such as fever and vomiting.
3. After applying belly button patches to the baby, it is important to observe in a timely manner to see if the baby's diarrhea has improved. Generally, it can be cured within two to three days. Usually, the belly button patch should be changed every 24 hours, and it is also necessary to check whether there is redness, swelling, and itching in the area where the baby's patch is applied. If there is, the belly button patch should be removed in a timely manner, and medication should be used to treat diarrhea quickly.
