Medical Health Care Advices

The high temperatures of summer or in tropical countries, create an environment conducive to the multiplication of viruses and bacteria that cause diarrhea. This disease is also associated with poverty, because malnutrition with its consequent low defense and lack of hygienic conditions facilitate the spread of the disease.

Diarrhea is a disease that is characterized by the increase of cases in which the child makes stools, which can be soft, liquid or semi-liquid. It is common to be accompanied by fever or vomiting as the greatest danger is that children become dehydrated from loss of fluids and salts, which in extreme cases can lead to death.

The usual causes are viruses (viral diarrhea). When a child has an illness, infection. Also result from excessive consumption of fruit and vegetables, sensitivity to certain foods or medicines, in which case can be relieved by a change in diet, not being the cause bacteria is not required with antibiotics.

According to Dr. Ernesto Calderon Jaimes, pediatric infectious disease specialist, Children’s Hospital of Mexico, bacterial diarrhea is often caused by salmonella, shigella and esquerichia coli, such as diarrhea have additional symptoms that children refuse food and drink

RECOMENDATION FOR TREATMENT
The coordinator of the Maternal and Child Health Ministry, Flavia Ranieri does not recommend a strict diet of people suffering from diarrhea, because the child needs replacing salt and fluids are lost through diarrhea should be restricted only Raw foods are fruits and vegetables and foods with excess sugar.

To prevent vomiting Flavia Raineri eat more times and fewer quantities, ie from eating 3 times a day, must now do about 5 times, to prevent vomiting. Infants who are still taking breast milk can continue to do so because it contains fluids, salts and nutrients needed by the baby and your body does not reject it.

In case of diarrhea of bacterial origin, Dr. Ernesto Calderon Jaimes indicates that rejection occurs because fluids and food by the child, you must give oral serum to keep hydrated, antidiarrheal lessen loss of fluids and antibiotics to combat the bacteria. These medications must be prescribed by a doctor because every case is different depending on the bacteria to fight.

When children have diarrhea, either viral or bacterial, it must be taken to the doctor to medicate (if necessary), children are more vulnerable to this disease and can become dehydrated quickly, putting their lives at risk.
