There are many reasons for baby diarrhea, but the baby's physical condition is relatively poor, so they are susceptible to disease damage. If the body cannot withstand it, it can lead to serious illness. Severe diarrhea in babies is also very dangerous and must be dealt with promptly. What should I do if my baby has severe diarrhea?
When a baby has diarrhea, it is necessary to adjust their diet by reducing the amount of complementary foods and milk they consume. If the baby is young, complementary foods should also be stopped, such as oily and high-fat foods. If the baby is fed formula milk, it may be due to allergies to formula milk and diarrhea. The cause needs to be identified and then eliminated.
If the baby has diarrhea and vomiting, it may be a gastrointestinal disease caused by excessive gastrointestinal pressure, and it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for treatment. Feeding babies requires increasing the frequency and decreasing the amount. Observe the baby's stool condition, as well as the color and frequency of the stool. Also, pay attention to keeping the baby's stomach warm and give them plenty of hot water to drink.
Severe diarrhea in babies may be caused by viral or bacterial infections, and it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital. Symptomatic medication is needed for treatment, and if necessary, the baby needs to be hospitalized for observation. Babies with diarrhea should not eat cold or raw foods. Breastfeeding mothers should also pay attention to their diet, so that the baby can recover faster.
