Children have weak resistance to diseases, and if their parents do not take good care of them, they may develop illnesses. Colds, fever, and diarrhea are the most common illnesses that children are prone to. At this time, parents should take their children to seek medical treatment in a timely manner and also try to take good care of them as much as possible in daily life. So, what should I do if my child repeatedly has diarrhea?
If a child repeatedly has diarrhea, the cause should be investigated, and it is best to take the child to the hospital for examination instead of self medication. Especially, antibiotic drugs should not be abused, otherwise it can easily disrupt the balance of the child's intestines, make diarrhea more severe, and increase the difficulty of treatment.
Repeated diarrhea in children can cause a significant loss of body fluids, so it is important to pay attention to replenishing fluids. Especially when children have diarrhea accompanied by vomiting symptoms, they are easily dehydrated. Therefore, parents should supplement their children with light sugar salt water to replenish energy and also to compensate for potassium ions and improve electrolyte imbalances. If a child experiences less urine and dry lips, it is necessary to go to the hospital for fluid replacement in a timely manner, as this is a symptom of dehydration.
When a baby repeatedly has diarrhea, in addition to intensifying treatment and replenishing fluids, it is also possible to give the child some probiotics. Furthermore, it can improve the baby's intestinal condition, make the intestines healthier, and thus improve the situation of frequent diarrhea.
