Children often experience diarrhea and vomiting because their digestive system is relatively weak and they are prone to gastrointestinal diseases. It is also possible that eating difficult to digest foods, such as sweets or undercooked meat, can cause diarrhea and vomiting. What should I do if my child has diarrhea and still vomits?
What should I do if a child has diarrhea and still vomits
If a child experiences diarrhea and vomiting, they should immediately go to the hospital for treatment. If the symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting are severe, taking medication is also useless. Taking medication will quickly cause vomiting and fail to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Prolonged diarrhea and vomiting can cause dehydration in children.
What should children pay attention to in their diet for diarrhea
1. Never give children food that stimulates the gastrointestinal tract, as it can irritate the digestive mucosa, causing diarrhea or gastrointestinal inflammation again, and is not conducive to recovery.
2. Too greasy food: Too greasy food can increase the burden on the stomach, leading to indigestion and more severe diarrhea. Therefore, people with diarrhea should not eat more greasy food, as it will only increase the risk of diarrhea.
3. Cold drinks, dishes, and other cold foods should also be consumed in moderation as they can stimulate the digestive system, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, and lead to more severe diarrhea.
4. Also, it is important to eat less fruits that promote bowel movements, such as peaches and bananas, which can worsen the condition.
Children must pay attention to washing their hands before and after meals and keeping them clean. Wash hands frequently and change clothes frequently. There is also a need to eat less junk food because children's spleen and stomach have a low tolerance, so these junk foods are likely to have adverse effects on children's bodies.
