Due to the poor resistance of children and inadequate care from parents, children are inevitably experiencing various physical discomforts. Among them, vomiting and diarrhea are quite common, which not only torment the child's body but also involve the parents' hearts. So what should we do with vomiting and diarrhea at the age of 2 and a half?
If a child experiences symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, it is necessary to first take their temperature and check if they have a fever. If the child does not have a fever and vomiting is not severe, they can be given some hot water or boiled ginger soup (with brown sugar).
If a child is found to have symptoms of fever, it is best to take them to the hospital for examination. Generally speaking, a fever indicates inflammation in the child's body. Having diarrhea in children can easily cause dehydration. Pay attention to your child's mental state and replenish their fluids in a timely manner.
During a child's vomiting period, if they do not want to eat or vomit, they can be given warm water first. Do not force the child to eat, and it is also best not to drink milk and formula. After the child does not vomit, you can give the child light oil-free food, noodles, white rice Congee, and slowly recuperate the child's stomach.
Generally speaking, children are most prone to illness during the transition between autumn and winter. They may sleep hot in the first half of the night, but it can be very cold in the second half of the night (morning) with a large temperature difference. Therefore, if a child always kicks the blanket while sleeping at night, it is recommended to add a sleeveless vest to protect their stomach.
