What are the symptoms of stomach flu in babies?

It is very important to take good care of the baby's stomach and intestines at ordinary times. The gastrointestinal health of babies has always been an issue of concern to parents, because they are still in the development process and are therefore relatively fragile. When babies have a stomach flu, the main symptoms are diarrhea, loose stools and crying.

Symptoms

The most common causes of "gastrointestinal cold" are viral infections and allergic reactions to food. After bacteria and viruses implant in the throat and cause inflammation, they will be swallowed into the stomach and intestines along with saliva, causing gastrointestinal discomfort. The symptoms are as follows:

1. Vomiting: Pathogens or other toxic substances enter the stomach, causing the stomach muscles to contract and expel the stomach contents from the body.

2. Diarrhea: It is mainly caused by irritation of the intestines, which leads to a large increase in secretions, affecting the absorption function, causing excessive water in the intestinal cavity, and increased intestinal peristalsis, so the stools discharged are all loose stools.

3. Abdominal pain: Pain is felt because intestinal peristalsis is twice as fast as normal, or the mucosa on the intestinal wall becomes red, swollen and painful due to inflammation. Although the redness and swelling cannot be seen, the pain can be felt.

Signs

1. Routine blood test: increased white blood cells and granulocytes can be seen.

2. Increased body temperature: Increased body temperature at this time indicates the severity of the inflammation.
