A 2-year-old baby, although having a better physical condition than before, still has a weaker immune system, which often makes them prone to illness. However, when parents notice that their baby is experiencing both fever and diarrhea, they feel very anxious and afraid that it will affect their baby's body. So, what should a 2-year-old baby do if they have a fever and diarrhea? Let's learn about it with parents.
What to do if a 2-year-old baby has a fever and diarrhea
1. When a baby has a fever and diarrhea, parents need to provide physical cooling to the baby in a timely manner, which can alleviate the baby's discomfort.
2. When a baby has a fever and diarrhea, parents need to observe the frequency of diarrhea and the consistency of stool in order to inform the doctor.
3. When a baby has a fever and diarrhea, parents need to pay attention to their diet because both fever and diarrhea can cause the baby to lose a lot of water in their body. Therefore, they should eat more light liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and replenish their body's fluids in a timely manner.
4. When a baby has a fever and diarrhea, it is important to keep the anal area clean and dry. After each bowel movement, rinse with warm water and wipe with a soft cloth. If necessary, apply lubricating oil to protect the anal skin to prevent redness or even rupture of the perianal skin.
5. When a baby has a fever and diarrhea, it is important to keep their abdomen warm to prevent the symptoms from worsening after catching a cold.
6. When a baby experiences fever and diarrhea, after half an hour of physical cooling, it is necessary to promptly re measure their body temperature and observe the cooling effect.
7. If the baby's symptoms do not improve after the above measures are taken, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly, clarify the cause of the baby's fever and diarrhea, and take targeted treatment measures.
What should a 2-year-old baby eat for fever and diarrhea
1. Egg custard. Prepare one to two eggs, beat them evenly, add an appropriate amount of water, and then steam them in a pot for consumption. Egg custard can not only supplement protein, but also be easily digested and absorbed. In addition, it can harden stool and alleviate symptoms of diarrhea.
2. Apple juice. Apples contain a large amount of vitamin C, which not only provides vitamin C to babies, but also enhances their resistance. In addition, apples are alkaline foods, and the pectin they contain helps with bowel movements.
The above are the solutions for a 2-year-old baby with fever and diarrhea. In fact, it is crucial to reduce the baby's illness and enhance their physical fitness. It is important to have a balanced diet with medication to prevent picky eating or monotonous eating habits. Additionally, it is recommended to take the baby outdoors for more activities, expose them to more sunlight, and cultivate good hygiene habits to prevent the occurrence of diseases.
