Many people worry that their baby will have diarrhea after seeing it, so they will also help their child replenish fluids. But sometimes things don't go as planned. After drinking water, the child's diarrhea becomes more severe. At this time, there are many questions. Why does the baby's diarrhea become more severe the more they drink water?
In fact, there are multiple reasons for a child's diarrhea, and the most basic one is still a problem with digestive function. In this case, feeding the child some water is generally not a problem and can be gradually adjusted after relief. However, diarrhea caused by pathological intestinal infections is more severe. At this time, diarrhea often occurs after eating anything, even drinking water. Therefore, it is more important to take the child to the hospital and not feed them anything else for the time being. Everything will be arranged after the results are available.
Under normal circumstances, a child with diarrhea definitely needs to replenish water, and it is best to use diluted salt water to replenish water and electrolytes, and to regulate the body as much as possible. Some children should also use less antidiarrheal drugs. Mild diarrhea can be avoided through diet adjustment. Parents can make some liquid Congee that is easy to digest. They can feed their children a small portion each time and eat a meal for many times. If the children's diarrhea symptoms subside, the amount will be gradually increased.
If the baby has already had experience eating complementary foods, then they can be given some nourishing foods for the spleen and stomach, such as apple puree, and some rock sugar or honey can be added to help alleviate the symptoms of diarrhea.
