Liquid chair in a child: what to do?

Very often, young mothers meet with such a problem as a baby's stools. In some cases, you can get by with treatment at home, but sometimes you need the help of a specialist.

First, you need to determine why the child has a loose stool. If you can not do it yourself, you should contact the pediatrician.

If the baby's stool does not pass within two days, and the baby constantly cries, clings to the tummy, sluggish, then you should immediately consult a doctor. In addition, the cause of treatment to a pediatrician is fever and vomiting (especially in children up to one year). If such symptoms are not present and the child has normal health and activity, then you can try to correct the situation at home. First of all, carefully study the chair of the child. If it contains a lot of mucus and undigested food, then you probably just overfed the baby or gave him food not by age. As a result, there was an enzymatic breakdown. Analyze on what products this reaction could occur, in order to continue to be more careful, since frequent disruptions can cause diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

The liquid chair, the reasons of which have already been found out, can be prevented. For this, the products that triggered this phenomenon do not need to be given anymore. Also, for a few days, give the child enzyme preparations that can be purchased at the pharmacy (after consulting the pediatrician). They will help restore the process of digesting food and assimilating it in the body. In addition, during this period, the food should be one that the child eats normally, only in smaller portions. If the baby refuses to eat during the day, then it is necessary to call a doctor. Also, when the baby has a loose stool, you need to give him more fluid. This will help restore the water-salt balance and the removal of toxins from the body. Just do not give him fizzy drinks.

Another reason that can cause liquid stool in a child, can be food poisoning. At the same time the stool will be evenly liquid, of a different color and with an unpleasant odor. In this case, you need to add to the treatment and sorbents, which will accelerate the withdrawal of toxins. It can be activated charcoal, the drug Enterosgel and other medicines that are sold in the pharmacy. These drugs should be given to the child even after the normalization of the stool for at least two days. This is to ensure that those toxins that are not eliminated from the body no longer harm the intestines.
