Treating diarrhea with folk remedies

Take about 200 g of walnuts, prick them and get not the core itself, but the partitions that separate the parts of the core. Partitions insist in 500 g of alcohol two or three days. Take three to four times a day, six to ten drops per small glass of lukewarm water. As soon as the diarrhea starts to go to naught, taking drops should be stopped immediately, as the remedy is very strong and can cause constipation.

For very severe diarrhea in adults, you should take half of a teaspoon of pounded skin of a chicken stomach along with the food - carefully separate the hard skin of the chicken stomach, wash, finely chop and take with food once or twice.

Take about two or three small crystals of potassium permanganate and dissolve in half a liter of water. You should pay attention to the color of the solution: pale pink - for infants, strongly pink( but not purple) - for adults. Adult dose: one glass per reception, children, respectively, less. One or two techniques are often enough to cure the disease. Along with ingestion, it is recommended that an enema be made from the same solution.

Note: when taking this medication, care must be taken so that insoluble potassium permanganate crystals do not remain on the bottom of the glass, which can burn in the mouth or in the esophagus. It is better to make a solution in one dish, and then pour into a glass, not draining to the very bottom.

While the baby is growing, what just does not happen to him, what sores he will not get sick. Most often, children suffer from abdominal pain. In this section of the book, we will discuss with you the most common problems with the tummy.

Colic. In , the first 3 months of life of almost all infants are tortured by colic, or gases. At the same time, the children suddenly cry out and cry from unexpectedly appeared strong cuts in the abdomen. During such an attack the child usually tightens the legs to the tummy, busts them, the face turns red from the

strain and distorts in pain. Calms the kid only when he spits up the air, bites or his gas goes away.

Why does colic occur? We have already said that the digestive system of the baby in this period of time did not have time to ripen, the gastrointestinal tract lacks enzymes to digest milk, as well as some nutrients from food that is part of the mother's diet.

In artificial persons, the cause of colic is either an improperly selected mixture or a failure to comply with the techniques and norms for its preparation.

The reason for abdominal distention can be and active sucking baby when he swallows a large amount of air.

To avoid these phenomena, the mother feeding him with the breast should take care of her diet, eliminating the products that contribute to the formation of gases( cabbage, radish, radish, peas, beans), there is less sweets and flour.

If the baby is an artificial person, then it is better to consult a doctor for help in choosing a mixture.

You can introduce yogurt and other fermented milk into the baby's diet, but also after having coordinated the children's menu with the doctor.

Mom should not forget that after each feeding, regardless of the way the baby feeds, you need to hold it in an upright position, allowing you to regurgitate the air swallowed while sucking. Holding the child in his arms, you can pat him on the back. After some time after eating, the baby is well placed on the back, covering his stomach with a warm diaper. This also contributes to the escape of gases. Perhaps Mom will have to pick up another feeding posture in which the baby will be more comfortable grasping the nipple, so he will have less opportunity to swallow air during sucking. You can choose the right posture with the help of our recommendations in the section on breastfeeding.

During an attack of colic you can make a baby a tummy massage. It must be performed only with warm hands, circular movements clockwise around the navel. The gentle movements of the warm palm, performed in a constant rhythm, will contribute to the escape of gases and calm the baby.

It's good to remember some folk remedies: give the child instead of a simple water dill. For its preparation it is enough to throw a pinch of dill seeds in a glass of boiling water and let it brew. Dill contributes to the escape of gases.

You can also buy in the pharmacy herbal teas, which include various medicinal plants, for example, chamomile, fennel, lemon balm, mint. You need to buy those ready-made preparations, in which there is no sugar, since it promotes the processes of fermentation in the intestine.

If none of the above measures help the baby's condition, then it is better to see a doctor so that, after the examination, he prescribes medicines containing adsorbents that promote the removal of gases to the outside.

Diarrhea is not an independent disease, it is a symptom of very many painful processes. With rapid chair stiffness consistency differs from the usual: they can be soft, shapeless, lumpy, including particles of undigested food or completely liquid. The frequency, severity and treatment of diarrhea in a child largely depend on his age.

At the kid at thoracal feeding the normal frequency of a chair can reach 5-6 and more times a day, te It depends on quantity of feedings. In this case, the feces must be soft and even liquid. This chair is considered normal and is associated with the fact that mother's milk does not remain long in the gastrointestinal tract. In this case, no special treatment is required and the stool should not cause concern if the child normally sucks and the body weight regularly increases. If, however, there are minor colic, as well as skin irritation in the buttocks area, then it is possible to recommend to the mother to water the baby with dill water.

When given artificial feeding, any diarrhea, on the contrary, should cause concern, since it can lead to a severe state of acute dehydration. The loss of water and mineral salts with diarrhea is the main cause of dehydration in the infant.

If a child has multiple liquid stools for several hours, although it seems to mom that the baby is feeling normal, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Parents are most often concerned about the greenish color of the bowel movements, while the liquid consistency of the feces, the frequent and abundant discharge, must be the most disturbing.

What should I do until my doctor arrives? First of all, before consultation with a doctor, you must abandon the usual feeding, completely eliminating milk from the ration for 1 or 2 days, replacing it with carrot soup or rice decoction. The doctor can also prescribe drugs containing glucose and mineral salts that help restore the volume of fluid in the body.

A child older than 5-6 months is recommended to additionally introduce into the diet products that have an opposing effect, such as raw grated apple, quince jelly.

The amount of fluid that a child should receive during the day should be at least 150 g per 1 kg of body weight, but should be given often and in small portions from 20 to 30 g, especially when vomiting.

This diet gives rest to the digestive tract and compensates for the loss of body fluids and mineral salts. With effective treatment, diarrhea quickly stops and the baby can return to normal nutrition. Keep on a dairy-free diet is advisable not more than 1-2 days, but return to the normal diet should be gradually, for 3 or 4 days, increasing the amount of milk gradually, adding it, for example, to carrot soup or rice broth.

Often, when you return to normal diet, diarrhea resumes. In this case, you need to return to a dairy-free diet for 1-2 days. If the diarrhea does not stop, the doctor may assume that the child is temporarily intolerant of certain milk components.

It happens that despite the diet, diarrhea continues, the weight of the baby "melts", signs of dehydration appear. In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor who may be hospitalizing the child. To determine the state of water balance in the body of the baby, i.e., whether it is dehydrated, it is possible to carry out such a test: on the back of the baby's hand, to collect a small wrinkle;if it is released, then it will quickly be punished - this is the norm;if this did not happen - then the body is dehydrated. Evidence of dehydration can be the absence of tears in crying, absence of urination, dry mouth and sunken fontanel. In all these cases, you need to immediately seek emergency care, and while drinking the baby in small portions of boiled water.

Parents should be warned and that to treat a child with drugs intended for adults, even in low concentrations, in no case impossible. Their reception can only worsen the situation.

What can cause a disorder of stool in a child? The causes of diarrhea can be associated with both nutrition and infection. The errors in nutrition include insufficient dilution of milk.or excessive amount;early introduction to the ration of the baby meat, vegetables, eggs, as well as an excessive amount of cereal mixtures.

The most common cause of diarrhea is a microbial or viral infection that can be localized both in the intestine and in distant organs. For example, a disorder of the stool may appear in a child with a cold or with a teething. Only a systematic examination allows the doctor to determine the source of the infection, and the stool analysis, usually prescribed with prolonged diarrhea, can detect the pathogen in the intestine.

To preventive measures to prevent the appearance of diarrhea, you can include the observance of rules and recommendations in the compilation of a child's diet;it is necessary to protect the baby from con-

Some children have a regular stool, the second suffer from diarrhea, and still others - opposite constipation. What is it and when will it end?

Constipation of refers to the difficulty of the act of defecation, i.e., the process of bowel movement, and the lack of stool for a certain time, which is determined by the age of the child. Since our baby is a baby, we will focus on this disorder of the stool at the age of 1 month to 1 year.

It is believed that in a child who is breastfed, the amount of defecation should coincide with the number of feedings. This indicator of the quantitative characteristics of the stool is ideal and is not so common. In the first 2-3 months of life, the presence of a chair is considered to be at least 2 times a day. For babies, infants, six months of age is considered constipation, not only the lack of defecation during the day, but also the appearance of a solid stool. In this case, it can take the form of "sausages" or "balls", which more often indicates the child's propensity to constipation. The feces of a healthy baby at this age should be in the form of "porridge", i.e. unformed, but not liquid.

As for children who are on artificial feeding, the lack of a chair during the day is already considered constipation.

Constipation is also believed to have a baby's chair 2 or more times a day, if it empties the intestines with difficulty, stiffens and cries, leaving a stool very hard and in small amounts, often with an admixture of blood.

There are several reasons for this serious stool problem. One of them - congenital anatomical defects of the thick and rectum, and in this case constipation makes itself felt from the first days of the baby's life. The second is artificially created, that is, it is a consequence of an operation in the abdominal cavity, in the rectal region, as a result of which adhesions are developing that violate the functions of the thick and rectum. But, fortunately, both these reasons are quite rare, but the most frequent is the disruption of the regulation of the intestine.

Often, functional constipation causes an error in the baby's nutrition. We have already said that in young children at the time of birth and the first months of life up to the end, there are no mechanisms for regulating digestion and adaptive capacity for new nutrition. Therefore, fatty or, conversely, liquid mother's milk, improperly selected mixture for an artificial person can lead to such an attack. As for lures, it's not for nothing that doctors recommend them to enter the baby's diet after reaching 5-6 months. In the older age, when the mother only breastfeeds the baby 2 times a day, the same applies to the artificial ones, the cause of constipation can be an abundance of tender food in the form of mashed potatoes, kissels, porridge-mash, etc. Thus, the mother herself"Inhibits" the developing ability of the intestine, not allowing it to "work" with coarse fiber and dietary fiber.

Functional constipation can lead to dysbiosis, known to adults and children, which are characterized by disorders in the composition of normal intestinal flora. Dysbacteriosis in a baby can be caused by the following reasons: if the mother was treated with antibiotics or hormones during pregnancy, she had a threat of miscarriage, toxicosis, infectious, caesarean section, prematurity, infection of the baby, improper feeding.

Another cause of constipation is the uncontrolled intake of certain medicines. Many mothers, trying to rid the baby of one problem with the tummy, overdo it, giving him drugs such as smecta, imodium, bifi-dumbacterin or enzyme preparations. Abuse of them and uncontrolled reception inevitably lead to problems with stool.

While struggling with constipation in children, many parents too often resort to enemas or other laxatives, not knowing that their regular use leads to oppression of the reflex to empty the bowels.

The reasons for the appearance of constipation include the muscular weakness of the intestine, which in infants is more likely to develop against rickets or a small child, and at an older age - and as a result of a sedentary lifestyle.

Closer to the year when the child begins to creep and walk, while pulling everything in his or her mouth, or if there is a pet in the family( cat, dog), for the health of which adults are not watching enough, these factorscan cause helminthic invasion. Constipation is very often the only symptom of this disease.

A story about the prevention of constipation can be built on the basis of consistently constructed causes of constipation.

So, if the causes of constipation are anomalies of the development of the intestine or adhesions formed as a result of performed operations, then in these cases only surgical treatment will help. With functional constipation, everything is somewhat different, and the process of treating disorders is reduced to adherence to the following recommendations.

So, if constipation is associated with errors in nutrition, then moms need to remember that it is more useful for a baby to breastfeed as long as possible, at least up to 5-6 months, and only from this time to introduce complementary foods, enabling his digestive system to get used tothe proposed dish, before you enter one more. In 4-4,5 months it will be useful to introduce juices of some fruits and vegetables that have a lax effect. These tips are useful for mothers, whose children are on artificial feeding.

Recently, some doctors are not advised to give water to children who are breastfeeding, and many parents adhere to this advice. Perhaps the baby has enough fluids for his mother's milk, and if not? Its deficiency inevitably leads to the development of constipation in the first months of life. Not all mothers know that at this time water is a kind of substitute for fiber and dietary fiber, normalizing intestinal motility. Therefore, the baby is very useful to drink water, if he, of course, wants it. As a drink, you can give children's teas with fennel, chamomile, dill water. When the baby becomes older, that is, from 3-4 months, the mother will be able to give him unconcentrated broths of dried prunes, dried apricots, dried fruits, and berry fruit drinks( 10 berries are prepared for a glass of water).

If the baby still has a weak reflex to bowel movement, then the child should be able to cope with the problem by stimulating this reflex. To do this, you need to learn a simple method of massage the abdomen. Actually, you already know her, remember, the sections of the second chapter of our book were devoted to massage and gymnastics of an infant. Recall that massage is reduced to stroking the tummy of the baby clockwise, bending the legs to the stomach and laying on the tummy. This procedure should be done shortly before meals for 5-7 minutes. After the baby has eaten, the appearance of the stool can be stimulated by tickling in the area of the anus, irritating the reflexogenic zones. In most cases, this stimulation is enough to produce the desired reflex. But, nevertheless, even after such manipulations in the child, it happens, the chair is absent during the day. Then it is recommended to increase the intensity and the time of massage to 20-30 minutes, and mechanical irritation of the anus area should be performed by translational movements with the help of a soap, or a stick with fleece, the end of a rubber pear lubricated with petroleum jelly or cream.

If these measures do not help, and the baby is already beginning to be tormented by gases, then it is possible to put a gas pipe. Some mothers in the medicine cabinet do not have such a device, but it is easy to do by themselves, cutting off the top part of the rubber pear. The tip of the pear is inserted into the anus and left there for 10-20 minutes. The baby can lie on the tummy or on the back with legs tightened to the stomach. In this situation, the gases flow very well, and with them a long-awaited chair may appear.

If within 36 hours, even with the above measures, there is no stool, you can make the baby and cleansing enema with water at room temperature. The technique of the enema will be described below.

Concluding the story about constipation and ways of dealing with them in infants, I would like to give some more advice on this matter.

Firstly, children, including premature infants, who were infected while still in amniotic fluid, treated with antibiotics, as well as with neurological disorders, are most useful in general strengthening massage, especially in the abdominal cavity, strengthening its walls, and also improving bowel motilityand forming reflexes to evacuation of the intestine.

Secondly, laxatives can be used only in extreme cases, since they not only inhibit the reflexes needed for the defecation process, but also contribute to the development of dysbacteriosis, as well as the suppression of the absorption function in the intestine. These remedies are best replaced with foods rich in fiber and dietary fiber. These include raw vegetables, stone fruits, sour-milk products( except for cottage cheese), crumbly porridges, bread made from coarse flour.

Thirdly, if the above described methods of dealing with constipation do not help, it is better to see a doctor and take tests for dysbiosis, the results of which allow the specialist to prescribe the correct treatment of the baby.

Diarrhea from babies. In the first year or two, the baby's intestines are very sensitive. The disorder can occur not only because of the bacteria that usually cause stomach upset, but also because of new vegetables in the diet, bacteria from other( non-intestinal) diseases and even those bacteria to which the organism of the child in the older age and the adult in generaldoes not react. That's why we try to protect the infant from contact with adults, we sterilize his milk so thoroughly, we change the composition of the mixture gradually and add new food very carefully.

If the child had a normal stool, and then suddenly became liquid, you should assume that he has a digestive disorder. Usually there are other changes. The baby will begin to defecate. Sometimes the color of the stool changes, usually greenish. Changing and smell.

Usually, indigestion in children is easy, and if taken in time, quickly passes. Diarrhea should be considered strong if any of the following symptoms occur: watery stools;mucus or blood in the feces;vomiting;temperature 38 degrees and above;the child looks exhausted or his eyes fall and gray circles appear under them.

Even with mild diarrhea, you should contact your doctor sooner, because the sooner the treatment starts, the easier it will be to get sick and the sooner it will end. If the child has any of the above symptoms of a serious disorder, it is very important to immediately show it to the doctor or take to the hospital, even if it takes a long trip.

Urgent measures for mild diarrhea, even before you see a doctor. Often several hours pass before the doctor can examine the child, and in some rare cases, if the child lives hundreds of miles from the nearest hospital, it is impossible to contact the doctor at all. In this case, use the recommendations below. But if you can still show your child to a doctor, do not treat diarrhea yourself.

If the child is only breastfeeding, let him continue. If he is eating less than usual, the better. If he eats and strong food, refrain from it until you see your doctor or until the diarrhea passes. Most diarrhea quickly passes if the baby is fed breast milk.

If your child is breastfeeding and has a slight diarrhea, dilute each portion of the mixture in half until you show your child a doctor. Better dilute mixture of diluted skim milk, if available to you. Let the child drink less milk, if only to satisfy the first famine. If on such a dilute mixture it remains hungry, feed it more often. If you continue to treat it yourself, keep the baby on a dilute mixture or on diluted skim milk until his stool is normal or almost normal for the whole day and until the child shows signs of hunger. If he is not hungry and does not require a neat mixture, this is probably a sign that he is still sick, and it is safer not to increase his milk dose. If mild diarrhea does not go away within two to three days, you should consider it strong and seek medical attention.

If a child who feeds on a mixture and solid food gets sick with a slight diarrhea, do not give him any solid food until you consult a doctor or until diarrhea passes. If the child does not eat well, or if diarrhea does not go away during the day, dilute the mixture, or give diluted skim milk. When he recovers, return to the original mixture before feeding it again with solid food. Returning to the diet of solid food, do it gradually.

Daily add only one type of food. On the first day, give a third of the usual amount, the second - two thirds, and only the third - a normal portion. Return the child to a normal diet in the following order:

1) dishes containing gelatin;

2) apple or orange juice;

3) meat and eggs;

4) white porridge;

5) vegetables;

6) potatoes and other dishes containing starch;

7) other fruits.

For example, on the first day you can give a third of the usual dish with gelatin. On the second day - two-thirds of the dish with gelatin and a third of the apple juice. Naturally, at this time there is no need to give food that the child has not tried before.

Emergency measures for severe diarrhea, until you have consulted a doctor. If the child has any symptom of severe diarrhea( watery stools, mucus or blood in the feces, vomiting, fever 38 degrees or more, gaunt look and sunken eyes), give him a mixture without milk at all:

Give 30 to 120 grams everytwo or three hours if the child does not sleep and wants to drink until you show it to the doctor. If you are forced to continue to treat it yourself, keep the baby on such a mixture for 24 to 72 hours, depending on how soon the appearance of the stool will improve. Then continue the very gradually. I will list the possible stages of diet changes. If the child recovers quickly, go from one stage to another every day. If you recover slowly, take two days for each stage.

The first stage. Give diluted skimmed milk, that is, skim milk, diluted with an equal amount of water. If you do not have skimmed milk, use the usual one, but give half the usual amount, without sugar, and add so much water that the total volume is sufficient. In each bottle, pour only two thirds of the usual amount;from the rest, prepare additional bottles in case you have to feed every three hours. Let him eat only enough to satisfy his hunger: better is less, the more.

The second stage. Use diluted skim milk with one tablespoon of normal sugar. If no milk is removed, use half the usual amount of regular milk;diluting with water, bring to the usual portion, add one tablespoon of sugar.

Third stage. Undiluted skim milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. If no milk is removed, take half the amount of regular milk and dilute with water to a normal serving, add two tablespoons of hara.

Fourth stage of ( if stool is normal).The usual mixture.

Fifth and subsequent stages. Gradually add solid foods, as indicated in the previous paragraph.

If the stool becomes fluid again, go back to the bottom of the stage. If diarrhea increases, return to the special mixture without milk and do your best to consult a doctor.

When diarrhea passes, the first chair a day looks better, and the next one gets worse. This should not disappoint you, but you must wait for the evening stool before changing the composition of the mixture or changing the diet.

Compassionate parents who are asked to cut a portion of a child's mixture or put him on a strict diet can exclaim: "But he's really hungry!" Maybe, yes, maybe not. But it is better to let a day or two suffer a little, than to allow the increase in diarrhea;in the latter case you will have to starve him for a long time.

When a child has two years of and more, the probability of a strong prolonged diarrhea is much less. Before the child is examined by the doctor, keep him in bed and give water, skim milk and dishes on gelatin.
