Distinguish the health status from the baby's urine. Many novice mothers may be confused about taking care of their babies. They don't know why the baby is crying or whether it is healthy. Next, let's look at the health status from the baby's urine.
From the baby's urine 1 1 to distinguish the health status, bright red bloody stool.
Bright red blood does not mix with feces, but only adheres to the surface of feces or has blood drops or spurts after defecation, suggesting that it is bleeding caused by anal or anal canal diseases, such as hemorrhoids, anal fissure, intestinal polyps and rectal tumors.
2. Jam-like stool
Dark red jam-like stool can be seen during intussusception; Dark red jam-like purulent blood can be seen in amebic dysentery.
3, mucus purulent bloody stool
Common in bacillary dysentery and campylobacter jejuni enteritis.
Wash the meat like blood.
And has a special fishy smell in acute hemorrhagic necrotizing enteritis.
5, foam-like stool
Too much starch or sugar in food can increase the fermentation of food in intestinal cavity and produce dark brown watery stool with foam.
6, watery stool
More common in food poisoning and acute enteritis.
7, gray stool
Babies with biliary obstruction caused by various reasons will discharge gray stools. Medically, it's called mud manure. In addition, if you eat too much milk or too little sugar, the fatty acids will combine with the minerals calcium and magnesium in food to form fatty soap, and the feces can also be gray, hard and smelly.
8, tarry stool
This is because the upper digestive tract or small intestine bleeds and stays in the intestine for a long time. Because the red blood cells are destroyed, hemoglobin combines with sulfide in the intestine to form ferrous sulfide, so the feces are black. Because ferrous sulfide stimulates the intestinal mucosa to secrete more mucus, and the feces are black and shiny, it is called tar stool, which is more common in bleeding caused by gastric and duodenal ulcers and chronic gastritis.
Normal people eat iron-containing foods such as animal blood and pig liver, which will also make the feces black.
9. Strange and smelly feces
When food contains too much protein, these protein can neutralize the gastric acid in the stomach, thus reducing the acidity of gastric juice, which makes protein unable to fully digest and absorb. Coupled with the decomposition and metabolism of bacteria in the intestinal cavity, the baby's stool often smells bad.
10, shiny stool
If you eat too much fat, too much fatty acid will be produced in the intestinal cavity to stimulate the intestinal mucosa and increase intestinal peristalsis. The result is a yellowish liquid stool, which sometimes shines and even slides in the bedpan.
1 1, green stool
If the stool is green, with less stool and more mucus, it is hunger diarrhea.
In addition, some children who eat formula milk have dark green feces. The reason is that a certain amount of iron is added to the formula. These irons appear dark green when they come into contact with air through the digestive tract.
12, egg drop soup stool
Babies with viral enteritis and pathogenic Escherichia coli enteritis often have egg drop soup-like stools.
13, Tofu-like stool
Common in enteritis caused by fungi.
The baby's health can be clearly distinguished from his stool. Without changing the amount and type of food, the sudden increase and thinning of the baby's stool frequency should take into account that the baby may feel uncomfortable.
Distinguish the health status from the baby's urine. 2 how to tell whether the baby's urine characteristics are normal?
1, smell urine
Normal fresh urine has no smell. If left for a long time, urea in urine will be decomposed into ammonia, resulting in ammonia smell. However, if the urine just discharged has an odor, it is a manifestation of the disease.
Suggestion:
Pay more attention to observation and take the baby to see a doctor if necessary.
2. Look at the urine volume
(1) oliguria
If the mother finds that the baby has less frequent urination and less urine, she can look at the baby's physical condition from the following aspects.
Skin elasticity test:
Gently press the baby's abdominal skin for 2-3 seconds and let go. The skin will recover in 2 seconds and it will be fine.
Detection of capillary reperfusion;
Press the baby's nails until they turn white. Don't worry if the nails turn pale red within 2 seconds after release. In addition, diarrhea and vomiting are easy to cause dehydration, so parents should replenish water in time.
However, if the baby drinks more water and excretes less, it is necessary to consider whether the baby has kidney disease.
Suggestion:
If the baby drinks too much and excretes too little, take the baby to see a doctor in time to check whether there is kidney disease and rule out the possibility of nephritis.
(2) polyuria
Rule out drinking too much water, frequent urination and dry mouth, which may be type I diabetes, accompanied by hunger, fatigue, vomiting and sweet urine. If the baby suddenly urinates abnormally, he is always thirsty, which may be diabetes insipidus. Postnatal diabetes insipidus is hereditary, and acquired diabetes insipidus may occur at any age, which will damage the kidneys or pituitary gland.
Suggestion:
If the baby has frequent urination and dry mouth, seek medical advice promptly.
3. Look at the color of urine
(1) yellow urine
This is one of the typical symptoms of excessive internal heat, and improper diet or feeding methods can cause yellow urine. However, if the baby not only has yellow urine, but also has crying, frequent urination and stubborn diaper rash when urinating, accompanied by symptoms such as fever, reluctance to eat milk, pale face, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal distension, there may be urinary organ infection.
If the baby's urine is yellow shortly after birth, it may be neonatal jaundice; If the baby is treating some diseases, drugs such as B vitamins and berberine can make the baby's urine color orange; In addition, carotene in the diet can also turn urine brown. The above situation can be improved.
Suggestion:
If it is simply yellow urine, as long as you don't eat the food that gets angry, you can improve it by drinking more water. If it is a breast-fed baby, the mother should also keep her mouth shut, and don't eat spicy food with high calorie, because breast milk will also affect the baby. However, if yellow urine is accompanied by the above symptoms, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible and check your urine regularly.
(2) white urine
The vast majority of infants' urine whitening is not a pathological phenomenon. Especially in the cold season, the whitening of baby urine is mainly due to calcium-containing substances such as calcium phosphate, calcium oxalate and calcium carbonate in urine, which are precipitated when the pH value of urine is alkaline. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, because the baby's kidney has not developed well.
However, if the baby's urine turns milky white, there are a lot of pustules and white blood cells in the urine, accompanied by symptoms such as urgency and frequent urination, which may be an infection of the urinary system.
Suggestion:
If the baby's urine is milky white, it needs medical examination and treatment.
(3) The urine is reddish or turbid.
It may be caused by urinary tract infection, which is very common in baby girls.
Parents should pay more attention to observe whether the baby is accompanied by symptoms such as dysuria, fever and urine odor.
Suggestion:
The baby is likely to have a urinary tract infection and needs to see a doctor in time.
(4) urine turns red
Hematuria in newborns or infants is mostly due to congenital urinary tract malformation, and a considerable number of infants may have temporary hematuria after strenuous activity or fever.
Suggestion:
In this case, you need to take your baby to see a doctor in time.
(5) remove urine
The baby's urine is clear and almost colorless. If the urine is clear at first, it will eventually become turbid, which is mostly normal. However, if the urine is turbid, sometimes there is blood in the urine, accompanied by symptoms such as fever, dysuria and frequent urination, it is a urinary system infection.
Suggestion:
Need physical examination and treatment.
