Every New Year, there are more children with upset stomach. As the saying goes: Illness comes from the mouth. This situation is most common for children.

　　Children’s lives are more normal during the New Year It is not regular, and delicious food is everywhere. The child will overeating naturally, so that the stomach that should be resting cannot rest. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, the pediatric outpatient clinic is out of court.

　　The child’s digestive organs are not yet fully developed. Cold, pathogenic microbial infection or improper diet will cause the child’s digestive dysfunction, resulting in child’s loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and nausea. What method or medicine to choose to deal with these digestive problems. Let me talk about some of my experiences, parents'' selective reference.

The best way to 　　 is to avoid it

　　 as the saying goes: eat injuries on one day and drink soup on the tenth. Once the child eats and lives, as a parent, don''t give the child medicine. In fact, the best medicine is "abstinence", so that children are properly hungry without harm. The child can’t be hungry, and many parents feel terrible when they see the child vomiting, and then they panic when they see that the child is not eating. In fact, under the current living conditions, can the child be hungry? When the child doesn’t want to eat, The child''s body sent a signal that their stomach and intestines need to rest. At this time, don''t force the child to eat.

　　The best medicine is "rehydration salt"

　　When a child''s gastrointestinal discomfort, coupled with the child''s diarrhea, vomiting or fever, is the most prone to dehydration. At this time, the best medicine is oral rehydration salts. I have already mentioned about dehydration and hypotonic oral rehydration salts in the article "Please pay attention to rehydration during high fever". You can take a look at it. When the child does not want to eat, he can give the child a small amount of oral rehydration salt. This method is quite good and can replace the infusion.

　　 Frequent vomiting, the water temperature should not be too high

　　 Many children who frequently vomit due to improper diet will appear to vomit even drinking water. At this time, if the child is thirsty, parents Try to give your child a small amount of ice or cold salt water. Many times, the child may be able to tolerate it. Gastric lavage with ice saline is one of our more effective clinical measures for the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The mechanism is that ice saline can contract the small blood vessels of the gastric mucosa, reduce blood flow, and reduce gastric acid, Pepsin damages gastric mucosa. Therefore, when the child frequently vomits, the gastrointestinal cramps are frequent. At this time, if the child is allowed to drink hot water, the gastrointestinal blood vessels will be heated and the blood flow will be accelerated, which will increase the peristalsis. Worse. So, if your child can tolerate this method, you may wish to give it a try. If you are worried that the water is too cold and the child will not tolerate it, you can drink it with water at room temperature in winter season. Maybe it can also play a good effect. I have used it for some children in the outpatient clinic. It is effective. Use it flexibly.

　　The easiest medicine to use is "montmorillonite"

　　Smecta or Biqi (montmorillonite powder), which is the easiest medicine for parents, but, Quite a few parents will not use this medicine. In outpatient clinics, many parents often respond to me that it is useless. In fact, it is not useless, but most parents will not use this medicine. After my guidance, the medicine had effect. The principle of montmorillonite is to smear a layer of montmorillonite "lacquer" on the gastric mucosa like a painter, so as to protect the gastric mucosa from gastric acid, pepsin, food, etc. Therefore, this "paint" must have concentration, and time, otherwise it will not brush the "wall" of the stomach. The configuration of montmorillonite is very technical and has a concentration requirement. It is a pack of 50 ml of water, which cannot be swallowed directly into the mouth; second, it is required to drink on an empty stomach, because at this time, it can be brushed on the wall, so the medicine must be Drink on an empty stomach to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa.

　　The last weapon is a stomach-stimulating motility drug

　　Domperidone (trade name: morpholin) is a commonly used antiemetic drug in the clinic, which is used to restore the upper abdominal gastrointestinal tract Motivation, improve esophageal sphincter tension, improve gastric emptying and strengthen intestinal peristalsis, mainly used to treat various dyskinesias of esophagus and gastrointestinal tract. When the child does not eat due to vomiting due to improper diet, the drug can be used for a short time under the guidance of a doctor to promote the child to resume diet. This medicine must be taken before meal 15 Take in minutes. Because these drugs may cause side effects on the nervous system of small babies, babies under 1 year old should be used under the supervision of a doctor. This medicine is contraindicated in older children with gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, or perforation.

　　The painless and itchy drugs are digestive aids

　　Many parents like to buy digestive medicines for their children to promote gastrointestinal digestive function Representative drugs: pepsin, pancreatin, Multi-enzyme tablets, Mai Feiming (Lactase), etc. This kind of medicine is often used for indigestion caused by eating too much meat, or when the digestive function is reduced during the recovery period after illness. Take before or during meals. But I think that this kind of medicine is painless and itchy. Don''t give it to your child. It is not necessary for acute diarrhea or vomiting. Our children have strong self-healing ability. When the gastrointestinal rest is good, digest The function naturally recovers, and there is no need to give these medicines to children, especially long-term oral administration.

　　Finally remind parents:

　　◆When a child has a digestive system disease, he must first look for the cause of the disease (for example, blood test routines and stool routines are very necessary tests) . After taking the medicine for the cause, choose some auxiliary drugs according to the actual situation of the child.

　　◆The above introduction is just my personal experience. It is recommended that the child get sick, especially vomiting and fever, severe diarrhea, and go to the hospital in time.
