Diseases of children are often a cause of serious concern to parents. To help their child, mothers are ready to turn the mountains and often try to cure the child on their own, gaining information on the Internet. This should be done with caution, because not all tips are suitable for a particular case. The most common ailment in babies is diarrhea. To understand the cause of its occurrence, you need to examine the contents of the pot: a pungent, unpleasant odor and mucous or bloody impurities indicate serious problems with the gastrointestinal tract, you should immediately contact a specialist. If the stool is liquid but normal in color and without a pungent odor, this may be a symptom of a simple digestive upset.
Diarrhea is the most common disease in young children, usually a consequence of a digestive tract disorder, but there are other reasons. The safest in this regard is diarrhea in a child without fever. If vomiting, chills, and other signs of the disease are added to loose stools, then you should immediately consult a specialist, because such a condition can be one of the symptoms of severe ailments, such as bacterial or rotovirus infection, dysentery, or salmonellosis.
Diarrhea in a child without temperature is most often due to mild food poisoning, the entry of pathogenic bacteria into the intestines, therefore, if other symptoms are not observed, you can give the baby fixing agents (in strict accordance with the instructions enclosed in the drug). It is necessary to breed "Smecta" and give her a baby drink - this drug absorbs pathogenic bacteria, toxins and gases and removes them from the body. Two hours after Smecta, you need to give your child useful bifidobacteria (Linex, Bifidumbacterin, or any other) that will help normalize the digestive tract. Diarrhea without temperature (with an undisturbed general condition) is not always a reason for immediately contacting a specialist. To prevent this unpleasant disorder, it is necessary to teach the child personal hygiene from childhood (wash hands before and after eating, as well as after a walk).
Diarrhea in a child without fever is functional diarrhea, in which it is necessary to give a large amount of water with minerals to make up for the loss of fluid in the body. If diarrhea persists and lasts more than two days, then you should consult a pediatrician so that the disorder does not develop into a chronic disease in which the motility of the intestine itself is impaired. A disease without temperature is no less dangerous than with it, because diarrhea can be a result of a violation of the digestion or absorption of food in the small intestine. This can be due to a lack of certain digestive enzymes, a deficiency of bile acid, with dysbiosis and damage to the intestine, as well as an allergic reaction.
Diarrhea in a child without fever can also occur due to improper, unbalanced nutrition. If you notice that the stool has become liquid, and there are splashes of undigested products in it, then you should exclude cakes and other sweets from the diet, do not give fruit juices and soda. Children under three years old generally do not want to consume all of the above products.
Diarrhea in a child without fever can begin due to stress, usually this phenomenon is accompanied by twisting pains in the abdomen. However, this disorder is a one-time disorder and after defecation an improvement in overall well-being occurs. To avoid repeated diarrhea, you should temporarily refrain from eating fats, fiber and milk. For the fixing effect, take "Loperamide" in the specified dosage, "No-shpa" or "Papaverine" is suitable for relieving spasms.
With an upset stomach and loose stools, not only harmful, but also beneficial bacteria, minerals, protein and electrolytes, potassium and calcium are washed out of the body, so if diarrhea lasts for several days without temperature, you need to contact a specialist to identify the cause of the disorder and timely render qualified medical care. And if we are talking about a baby in the first months of life, then with diarrhea (even without fever), it is necessary to show the baby to the specialist as soon as possible.
