First, diet therapy to manage the baby's stomach.
1, carrot juice
Clean and mash fresh carrots, put them in a small amount of water and boil them for 10 to 15 minutes, then filter to remove the residue, add water and a small amount of sugar, boil them and cool them to a suitable temperature for the baby to drink.
2, apple puree soup
Apples contain astringent substances such as tannic acid and organic alkali, and pectin can absorb toxins. For simple mild diarrhea, eating apples alone can stop diarrhea. The cellulose contained in apples can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and accelerate defecation, so it has a laxative effect. Mash the ripe apples into mud and put them in light tea. Apple fiber is fine, which has little irritation to intestinal tract, and rich pectin has astringent effect.
3. light tea
Because tea contains caffeine, tannic acid and so on. , has the effects of excitement, cardiotonic, diuretic, astringent, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory, and has curative effect on acute gastroenteritis. Take a small amount of black tea and brew it with boiling water, and give it to the baby 4-5 times a day, which has a good effect on acute gastroenteritis.
4, hawthorn brown sugar rice porridge
Put the hawthorn into a casserole and boil it into thick juice, then add rice and brown sugar to cook it into porridge, and give it to the baby in the morning and evening. Note: Never eat on an empty stomach.
5, massage the abdomen
Let the child lie flat and show his stomach (be careful not to pull the clothes too high to prevent catching cold. ) Gently massage the abdomen clockwise 1-3 minutes. Then press and knead the epigastric point for 2 minutes. Massage the abdomen can directly strengthen intestinal peristalsis, promote defecation, and have the effect of harmonizing stomach and promoting digestion.
Second, the six major gastrointestinal problems of infants and young children
1, abdominal distension
Because the child's abdominal muscles are not strong enough to support the pressure of the abdomen, it is naturally easy to protrude outward. Mainly confirm whether flatulence will affect the child's appetite and cause pain. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't need special treatment, as long as the child naturally exhausts, it can be alleviated.
Step 2: diarrhea
When babies have diarrhea, parents must pay attention to whether there is dehydration. Some children with viral gastroenteritis can recover on their own, but when dehydration occurs, they should take their children to see a doctor as soon as possible. Parents can ask their children to supplement oral electrolytes or drops.
3. Abnormal stool
Generally speaking, the most normal frequency of defecation for babies is once a day, but it can be different according to the baby's situation. Basically, for babies who drink breast milk, it is normal to defecate within 7 times a day or once every 7 days. Parents don't have to worry too much. Dr. Ye Shengxiong said that the frequency and time of defecation are for reference only, and it depends on the observation of children's stools, such as the shape and color of stools.
4. Neonatal jaundice
It can be divided into congenital jaundice and pathological jaundice. If the baby has congenital jaundice and has not reached the light level, it is a mild disease, so parents don't have to worry too much.
In addition, the cause of pathological jaundice may be the baby's urinary tract infection, or hemolysis caused by incompatibility with the mother's blood type. If the baby's loss of appetite leads to too little defecation, it will also lead to incomplete elimination of bilirubin in the body and then be absorbed back into the body. Excessive bilirubin in the blood can cause jaundice.
5. Spill and spit milk
Babies have galactorrhea and spitting, which may be caused by gastroesophageal reflux or pyloric stenosis. The easiest way is to see if your child has gained weight. If you gain weight, you can almost judge that it is gastroesophageal reflux or overeating, which leads to milk spilling and spitting.
6, baby colic
Babies born within three months often have colic and often cry in the middle of the night. Dr. Ye Shengxiong pointed out that there are many reasons for abdominal distension and crying, so other possible factors, such as lactose intolerance and milk protein allergy, must be ruled out in the diagnosis. Only after filtering out possible pathological factors can colic be blamed.
prescribe a diet
1, pay attention to hygiene, clean food, disinfect tableware, keep drinking water clean, and children and their caregivers should form the good habit of washing their hands before and after meals.
2, insist on breastfeeding, especially in the first few months after birth. Because breast milk is most suitable for babies' nutritional needs and digestive ability. Human milk contains IgA, which can neutralize the enterotoxin of Escherichia coli and prevent the infection of Escherichia coli.
3. Pay attention to the quality of diet. Babies are short of breast milk from birth to 3 months, so both milk and milk substitutes need to be diluted properly to facilitate digestion and absorption.
4, should pay attention to a reasonable mix of children's diet, mainly light, as long as children do not frequently vomit, should encourage children to eat more, mainly liquid and semi-liquid foods, such as milk, rice soup, porridge and so on.
massage
Massage is a common physical therapy method in traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of dredging meridians and adjusting viscera. If mom and dad can insist on massaging their babies, they can keep fit and enhance their resistance to diseases.
First of all, the specific skills are as follows:
1, press and push four points: four points are located at the first interphalangeal joint of palmar surface, middle, nameless and little finger. During operation, the operator holds the fingers of the child with his left hand and rubs the acupoints with the fingers of the index finger or middle finger of his right hand for about 2-3 minutes. You can also push the four-striped points to make the children's four fingers close together, and the operator pushes the little finger stripes 50~ 100 times from the horizontal stripes of the children's index finger with his right thumb. It has the functions of regulating middle warmer, promoting qi circulation, regulating qi and blood, and eliminating mass.
2. Push the plank door point: the plank door point is located in the thenar of the palm of the child. During operation, the operator holds the fingers of the child with his left hand, dips the talcum powder in his right thumb, and presses the acupoints of the kneading board. You can rub it clockwise or counterclockwise; You can also push the thumb root to the wrist striation to stop diarrhea, and push the wrist striation to the thumb root to stop vomiting. Pushing back and forth can adjust the spleen and stomach function. Press and knead for 2~3 minutes and push 50~ 100 times.
3, push the spleen meridian point: children's spleen meridian point is on the radial side of the thumb. When operating, the operator grips the four fingers of the child's left hand with the middle finger or ring finger of his left hand, and then grips the child's thumb with the thumb and middle finger. After dipping the thumb of the right hand with talcum powder, the operator directly presses the acupoints of the spleen meridian of children, and presses it 50~ 100 times from the fingertip of the thumb to the root of the thumb. It is not advisable to push back and forth in one direction. Has the functions of invigorating spleen and regulating stomach.
Second, several manifestations of the baby's gastrointestinal temper
Several manifestations of baby's upset stomach
It is precisely because of the uniqueness of the baby's stomach that the baby is more likely to have various "upset" symptoms because of the small stomach. Faced with this situation, the baby will let his mother know his troubles through a series of phenomena. Mothers, can you read several manifestations of the baby's upset stomach?
Diarrhea: When diarrhea occurs, the frequency of defecation increases, the water content increases, and the stool is watery and has a sour smell.
Constipation: If the baby's stool is hard and small, or bloody, or crying when defecating, it may be constipation.
Flatulence: The baby inhales air when eating or crying, or flatulence occurs due to imperfect digestive system. If you don't burp your baby in time, your stomach may swell up and you can't touch it. The baby will keep kicking, clenching fists, farting and even affecting sleep.
Spitting milk: Because the baby's digestive tract is still developing, spitting milk is only the baby's performance in infancy. Mom should distinguish between physiological vomit and pathological vomit.
Irritability: One of the biggest reasons for the baby's irritability is that the digestive system is not perfect, and too much gas is generated when lactose and milk protein are absorbed, which may lead to abdominal pain.
Crying: When the stomach is uncomfortable, the baby will let his mother pay attention to his troubles by crying.
Third, how to deal with gastroenteritis
Stop eating and drinking, or the situation will get worse. Generally speaking, if you have acute gastroenteritis, no one will tell you to eat and drink. Hungry, eat less and drink more water.
Eat porridge and digestible pasta, remember to add salt to porridge and pasta to supplement the salt in the body and beware of dehydration. And eat less of these things, eat more times, eat less and eat more meals.
Drink plenty of water and put honey or salt in the water to ensure the normal functioning of the body and not collapse. Drink boiled water with proper temperature, not mineral water.
Eat something that helps digestion, such as hawthorn slices. And tangerine peel. Boiling dried tangerine peel or boiling water and drinking dried tangerine peel soup will make you feel more comfortable.
Taking drugs, such as medicated leaven, motilium and Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets, is very effective for acute gastroenteritis. I found that in fact, Huoxiang Zhengqi water is also very good, of course, don't try it indiscriminately.
Generally speaking, you should also drink cold medicine together, because most of the causes of acute gastroenteritis are catching cold, so you should also take cold medicine properly.
Fourth, how should gastroenteritis be diagnosed and differentiated?
1. Parasitic infection
Parasitic diseases caused by hookworm, schistosomiasis, tapeworm and cysticercosis can be seen in peripheral blood eosinophils, each with its own clinical manifestations. So this point must be made clear. Don't delay the diagnosis and treatment of the disease because of poor symptoms. More acute gastroenteritis will also bring more harm to the body, and I hope patients can pay attention to it.
2. Gastrointestinal cancer and malignant lymphoma
There may also be eosinophilia in peripheral blood, but this is secondary and should have other manifestations of cancer and lymphoma.
3. Eosinophilic granuloma
It mainly occurs in the stomach and large intestine, and the small intestine is a localized mass. Pathological examination showed eosinophilic granuloma mixed with connective tissue matrix, and allergic history was rare. The number of leukocytes and eosinophils in peripheral blood usually does not increase.
4. Eosinophilia
In addition to eosinophilia in peripheral blood, the lesion not only involves the intestine, but also widely involves other parenchymal organs, such as brain, heart, lung and kidney. Its course of disease is short, its prognosis is poor, and it often dies in a short time.
