What to do if your child has diarrhea after eating

Children with weak spleen and stomach may experience gastrointestinal discomfort if they are too hungry or too full. Many mothers worry that their children are not full, so they feed them a lot of food. This can easily cause the children to eat too much and cause food insufficiency. In addition to diarrhea, children who miss meals are prone to other symptoms such as fever and vomiting. So what should we do if children have diarrhea after eating?

1. Eat small, frequent meals

When we find that the baby has food interruptions, the first thing we should do is to control the baby's food intake, feed small meals frequently, and feed some porridge, rice soup and other foods to reduce the burden on the baby's spleen and stomach. Once the food in the stomach is basically digested, the baby's food interruptions will subside.

2. Rub your belly

After the baby has eaten, he should do appropriate exercise to help digestion. However, because the baby is too young, it is impossible for them to exercise by themselves. So parents can help the baby to exercise at this time, massage the baby's belly button with their hands, help the baby's gastrointestinal movement, and speed up digestion.

3. Drink more water

Water can speed up body circulation, digestion, and promote excretion. It is even more important for babies who have not eaten, because babies with fever can lower their body temperature through the excretion of water. At the same time, toxic substances in the body caused by undigested food can also be excreted through water.

4. Hawthorn water

Hawthorn can also help digestion. If your baby has food retention, parents can go to the pharmacy to buy some hawthorn, boil it in water and give it to the baby to drink several times a day. But remember that you must eat small meals frequently during the period of food retention. Drinking hawthorn water can help alleviate the symptoms of baby's food retention.

5. Drink rice vinegar

If the baby has a severe food retention problem, parents can consider feeding the baby some rice vinegar. As we all know, rice vinegar can help digestion. Since the baby is too young, it is important to feed the baby in moderation to avoid discomfort caused by excessive stomach acid.

6 Stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets

Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets are typical medicines that help digestion and are effective for both adults and children. If babies who have not eaten well can chew and break up their food by themselves, they can be divided into several small grains and fed. For babies who have not yet grown teeth, the Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets can be crushed into powder and fed with water.

7. Seek medical attention promptly

If the above methods do not work for the baby who refuses to eat, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, go to the hospital for various examinations, and follow the doctor's advice for treatment to avoid worsening of the condition and causing unnecessary harm to the baby.
