If the baby has diarrhea after eating with his family in summer, all the family members except the baby are fine, and the mother doesn't have to worry too much about this diarrhea, because usually this diarrhea will recover soon. If other people in the family also have diarrhea, it should be considered bacterial diarrhea, and the mother should take the baby to see a doctor immediately.

Doctor's reminder
Parents need to be reminded that if the baby has diarrhea, he must go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. If you are diagnosed with viral diarrhea, parents should not worry. Keep in mind the following six points to fight diarrhea and help children recover soon.
1. Don't give the baby drugs indiscriminately.
At present, there is no specific medicine for viral diarrhea, especially norovirus and rotavirus infection, which mainly depends on symptomatic treatment and supportive treatment. Commonly used drugs include intestinal mucosal protective agent montmorillonite powder, probiotics for regulating intestinal flora, oral rehydration salts and so on. Parents must not give their children drugs indiscriminately, especially antibiotics, which are aimed at bacterial infections and have no effect on viral infections. Some babies have diarrhea with fever, and parents may mistake it for a cold and give their children cold medicine. None of this is appropriate. If there is any problem, you need to see a doctor in time and take the medicine according to the doctor's advice. For babies with severe symptoms and complicated conditions, infusion or hospitalization may be needed.
2. "Herbs+Massage" to relieve symptoms
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that viral diarrhea is caused by feeling exogenous pathogens and damaging the spleen and stomach. Children's spleen and stomach are weak and easily injured. When the spleen and stomach are injured, Shui Gu remains unchanged, subtle and turbid, and it becomes diarrhea. Children are children with yin and yang, and it is more difficult to recover from diarrhea than adults. Traditional Chinese medicine decoction has good curative effect on viral enteritis, which can transport spleen to eliminate dampness and restore spleen and stomach function. According to the length of children's diarrhea, the severity of symptoms, the difference of physique, etc. "One person, one side" Chinese herbal medicine can strengthen the body resistance and eliminate evil spirits, and help children get through the illness process. At the same time, acupoint application and massage of traditional Chinese medicine are also beneficial to relieve the symptoms of viral diarrhea. For example, parents can try to massage Zhongwan and Shenque points in the abdomen when the child has a stomachache, and achieve the purpose of treatment through acupoint stimulation.
3. Preventing dehydration is the key
"Rotavirus infection and norovirus infection are self-limiting diseases," Jerry Lee explained. "Self-limiting disease means that within a certain period of time, the disease will heal itself. However, parents can't relax their vigilance. When viral diarrhea is severe, dehydration may occur and even lead to death. Therefore, preventing dehydration is the key to treatment. "
For children with mild dehydration, they can be corrected by drinking "water". Drinking oral rehydration salts mixed with water can not only replenish water, but also replenish electrolytes. According to the child's acceptance, drink a small amount for many times to avoid vomiting caused by forced swallowing. If the child refuses to drink because the taste is slightly astringent, you can also add some juice to taste. It is not recommended to prepare salt water for children at home. Hypertonic dehydration should be prevented as much as possible. Parents can't judge the degree of dehydration as accurately as doctors, and dehydration may progress quickly. Therefore, once there is an abnormality, you must seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying your illness.
Diet adjustment is gradual.
Generally speaking, children who don't vomit often and can take oral rehydration can eat normally, but their diet needs to be adjusted to avoid foods with high sugar and fat, so as not to aggravate diarrhea. Baby can continue breastfeeding, try breastfeeding, and should do it more often. People with severe vomiting can temporarily fast for 4 to 6 hours without stopping drinking water, and resume feeding digestible food suitable for children's age from less to more and from thin to thick as soon as possible, because fasting and excessive diet control will affect the repair of children's gastrointestinal mucosa.
5. Skin care beware of "red buttocks"
The baby's buttocks are delicate, and frequent diarrhea can easily cause "red buttocks" or even local skin damage. Jerry Lee particularly emphasized that for babies who can't talk, parents should always check whether the baby has defecation and change diapers or diapers in time. In addition, pay attention to rinse the baby's little ass with clear water after defecation, dry it with a soft paper towel or towel, keep it dry and clean, and apply some buttock cream to protect local skin if necessary.
6. Disinfect and isolate the source of infection.
When children have viral diarrhea, parents should take appropriate disinfection and isolation measures. Like norovirus, it is highly contagious. As long as one person in the family is infected, it is likely to hurt the whole family if you don't pay attention to protection. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your hands frequently, especially before and after meals, do not eat cold and uncooked food, and people with diarrhea and vomiting should not prepare food for others; After vomiting or diarrhea, the vomit and contaminated places and clothes should be cleaned and disinfected in time to avoid the spread of the virus. You can use alcohol (75% concentration) or bleach (bleach * *) to disinfect utensils or other contacts, and pay attention to the disinfection ratio in strict accordance with the instructions.
