Either way, bacteria and viruses provoke the main symptoms of poisoning, it is with the help of vomiting and liquid stool that the body actively gets rid of dangerous toxins that cause serious disturbances in the activity of the gastrointestinal tract.
Let's consider what to do if a child has been poisoned by baby food?
First , the child needs to be put in bed, to provide him with bed rest.
Secondly , if possible, rinse the stomach with a crumb, you need to make it drink a lot of water and cause a vomiting reflex, it is good to do this procedure 2-3 times.
Third, give the baby any home adsorbent, it can be activated charcoal (1 tablet for every 10 kg.), Smecta, enterosgel, filter. These drugs adsorb toxic products of vital activity of pathogenic bacteria, make them harmless and remove from the body.
Fourthly , as early as possible, you need to begin the process of "soldering off" the baby, because during vomiting and diarrhea the child loses a lot of fluid and salts, which can lead to dehydration of the body. The first signs of dehydration are dry lips, elevated body temperature, lethargy, rare urination. The baby should be given in small portions, starting with 1 teaspoon, every 5 minutes, then, if vomiting becomes less frequent, a single volume of liquid can be increased to a dessert or a tablespoon. As a drink, it is best to use ready-made preparations, which can be purchased at the pharmacy - regidron, touring and others. They are bred according to the instructions and give the child during the day, for longer than a day the ready-made solution can not be stored. If you do not have the opportunity to buy these drugs, then at home, you can also make similar solutions. For cooking it will be necessary to dilute 1 teaspoon of table salt, 5 to 8 teaspoons of sugar and a teaspoonful of soda in 1 liter of warm boiled water, and cook it on the basis of a decoction of raisins. In addition, rice decoction proved to be very good, it can be prepared from rice flour: take 1 liter of water with 50 grams of rice flour and cook for 5-6 minutes, then cool and add two thirds of a teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of soda. Instead of flour you can use 100 gr. rice, only cook it will have 2 hours, periodically adding boiling water. The volume of fluid consumed must come from the volume of fluid lost, that is, completely replenished. So, with each act of emptying the intestine, the child on average loses 100 ml of fluid, so here are the 100 ml. he must make up for the next act of defecation. It should be remembered that the volume of fluid should be small, even if the child has a strong thirst, a large amount of fluid will provoke vomiting.
Fifth , if the child's vomiting does not stop when it is discarded within 6 hours, and is repeated more often than twice an hour, it is necessary to seek emergency care and consent to hospitalization, since this condition is very dangerous for the life of a young child. In the hospital, he will be prescribed a course of drugs that stop vomiting and painkillers, which will help your baby to regain strength during sleep. In addition, depending on the degree of severity of the child's condition, doctors can prescribe a dropper, which will noticeably affect the weakened crumb.
Sixth , if a child who has been poisoned by infantile food during the poisoning continues to have an appetite, then feeding should continue, but it is difficult to digest from its diet, it is best to give preference to vegetable dishes and porridges on the water. Very good during poisoning and recovery after it include in the diet of children baked apples and rice. The volume of food should be small, but the frequency of feeding can be increased.
Seventh , if the child is breastfed, it must be continued, and if the baby is at the stage of weaning, it is best to resume breastfeeding.
In any course of the disease, parents need specialist help, so if possible, ask for help from a doctor, because the earlier treatment is started, the easier it is to cope with it. The specialist will give you all the recommendations for caring for the child, his nutrition and prescribe drugs for all possible cases of the disease. The younger the child, the more serious the poisoning, and in infants, food poisoning is very severe and with serious consequences due to underdevelopment of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, very often such symptoms can be the cause of diseases such as pneumonia and meningitis.
So, we considered what to do if a small child was poisoned. But especially it is necessary to note the process of restoring the baby after suffering severe poisoning. Parents should provide him with proper nutrition, on a special sparing diet, to exclude fried, smoked, fatty, salted, pickled. For some time, do not give products that cause fermentation in the intestines (whole milk, rye bread, legumes, fermented milk, sauerkraut, beets, etc.). Be sure to drink a course of vitamins. And you need to direct a number of measures to restore normal flora of the intestine with the help of special preparations containing bacterial cultures or using dairy products in food.
To avoid such situations, you need to carefully monitor the children: what they eat, whether they wash their hands before eating, do not they take objects from the ground or floor in the mouth. In addition, you need to be careful when selecting products for the children's table, pay attention to the date of manufacture, the timing of their implementation and storage conditions. Your child's health is in your hands.
