The health of the baby is a constant concern for parents. If the baby experiences any abnormal situations, parents are definitely the most worried. However, due to the lack of experience in taking care of the child, they do not know what is going on or what correct measures to take. So, the editor will introduce what happens to a 1-year-old baby who still vomits after diarrhea. Let's take a look together.
What's going on with a 1-year-old baby who has diarrhea and still vomits
The child's diarrhea accompanied by vomiting may be caused by catching a cold or enteritis. It is recommended to take the child to a pediatric clinic in a regular hospital for treatment. Based on the examination results, the child should be treated actively and given appropriate warmth. In case of diarrhea, avoid eating greasy food.
How to care for baby diarrhea
1. Observe and record the frequency of diarrhea in children
Physiological diarrhea is more common in children who are exclusively breastfed or when changing formula. As long as it is taken care of properly, it will improve. But if it is pathological diarrhea, parents must pay attention to observing and recording changes in stool frequency, characteristics, color, and volume. If the baby experiences symptoms such as frequent water sampling, thirst, and significantly reduced urine output, they should be taken to the hospital for further treatment.
2. Use a spoon instead of a bottle
Bottles, especially rubber nipples, are difficult to clean and disinfect, and can easily become contaminated, leading to diarrhea in children. The tools for feeding babies can be replaced with bowls and spoons, which have less chance of contamination than bottles. In addition, babies should avoid catching a cold in their abdomen when sleeping at night.
3. Wash your buttocks with warm water
Children with diarrhea have an increased frequency of bowel movements and should change diapers frequently. After each bowel movement, wipe and wash the buttocks with warm water (girls should rinse from front to back), and then use a soft cloth to absorb dry.
After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone knows what causes a 1-year-old baby to have diarrhea and vomiting. Either they have caught a cold or have enteritis. Regardless of the situation, it requires careful care, and in severe cases, they need to go to the hospital for treatment. Pay attention to your baby's condition in daily life and avoid letting them catch a cold or get sick.
