Babies have poor digestive ability and are prone to indigestion and stomach problems in their daily lives. A baby's stomachache may be caused by catching a cold, but it can also be due to a bacterial infection, which can often lead to enteritis, such as fungal enteritis. So, what are the symptoms of fungal enteritis in babies?
When a baby suffers from fungal colitis, they usually have symptoms of low-grade fever, accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloating. The child's stool will appear green and black. Once the baby has the above symptoms, they should immediately go to a regular hospital for examination, including a stool routine test and fungal culture examination.
If it is confirmed through examination that it is fungal enteritis, the child needs to be treated with medication under the guidance of a doctor. Most doctors use anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, and anti infective drugs, as well as drugs that regulate the gastrointestinal tract, which can achieve good results. Generally, as long as the treatment is persisted for a week, the child can recover.
During the treatment of a baby, not only should medication be taken according to medical advice, but parents should also take good care of themselves. Children should not be given fried or greasy foods as they are difficult to digest and can worsen symptoms of enteritis. Usually, it is important to give children more water, have a light diet, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. It is recommended to encourage children to rest as much as possible.
