One year old children often experience diarrhea. Because children are already in a stage of weak physical constitution, irregular diet or catching a cold can cause their intestinal function to be disrupted, leading to symptoms of diarrhea. So let's learn about what to do if a 1-year-old child has diarrhea?
1. Adjust diet
A one year old child already eats a lot of food, try to reduce the amount and frequency of complementary foods as much as possible. Do not eat foods that are too greasy or high in nutrients, otherwise it will worsen the condition of a heavy stomach. Eat more vegetables and fruits to regulate the intestines and reduce the symptoms of diarrhea through food.
2. Pay attention to keeping your stomach warm
Diarrhea is also closely related to catching a cold in the stomach, so parents should pay attention to weather changes, add or reduce clothing for their children in a timely manner, and especially pay attention to keeping their stomachs warm. You can use belly button patches to apply to the navel to relieve discomfort.
3. Supplement water
Give your child more warm water to help relieve diarrhea. Warm water can replenish the missing water in the body, and parents giving their children warm water can also prevent dehydration.
4. Massage the stomach
If diarrhea is caused by external factors, parents can give their children massage to help alleviate the symptoms. Rub your hands hot and place them on the child's stomach, gently massage them for 50 times. This kind of massage can help children stop diarrhea.
5. Drug care
If diarrhea is severe and does not improve, parents should quickly take their baby to the hospital for examination, determine the cause of diarrhea through laboratory tests, and help the baby adjust according to the medication prescribed by the doctor.
