What to do if a young child is poisoned

If your baby is poisoned, you need to take action. Problems with the tummy of the falcon happen often enough. In fact, this is natural, because the child is so difficult to follow: he can put dirty hands or a toy that has just fallen on the floor or ground. Well, if you saw in time that your baby was going to do something like that, and stopped it in the bud. And if not? After all, even if you carefully follow the crumbs, it is impossible to foresee what he will do in the next minute.
If your youngster complains of pain in the tummy , dizziness or nausea, vomiting and loose stools appear, urgent measures must be taken. Put the child in the crib and every 5-10 minutes, always drink it with baby water or unsweetened chamomile tea, or by instructions with a special electrolyte solution ("Regidron", "Humana-electrolyte"). In one take, give a small amount of liquid - 1-2 teaspoons. If the baby refuses to drink - inject the solution with a pipette or a syringe without a needle.

The next step is to make an enema for a baby . Dilute 1-2 tablespoons of table salt in one glass of water at room temperature. On the previously laid out oilcloth and pelenochku put the baby. Raise the legs of the child with your left hand, and with your right hand, gently insert an enema tip in the anus, lubricated with baby oil or cream. It is necessary to repeat this procedure about 2-3 times.
Do not forget to give the baby an enterosorbent too. Krokhe until the year approaches "Smecta" (the powder should be diluted depending on the age of the youngster, according to the instructions). You need to drink it during the day between meals. Karapuzu, which has already turned a year old, you can give 1-2 tablets of activated charcoal. Pound the tablets, mix with water and let's drink to the baby.

The weaker the disease tolerates , in particular diarrhea, the smaller its age. Therefore, if your baby is still six months old, call the doctor immediately. An older child will also need a doctor's consultation, in case diarrhea can not be stopped and signs of dehydration begin to appear. These symptoms are: the baby is drowsy and weakened, his lips dry up and the temperature rises, he seldom pisses (urine may have a dark color).
When vomiting and diarrhea, the child loses a lot of water. In addition, together with water, it also loses mineral substances. That is why it is extremely important that the baby receives adequate nutrition during this period. If your baby is breastfed, be sure to attach it as often as possible to your chest. If the baby is on artificial feeding - contact the pediatrician, let him help to choose a suitable mixture for your child with probiotics. A child of older age who eats more "adult" food, needs a special diet. Regardless of how soon the improvement begins, for two weeks completely eliminate from the diet of the baby foods that enhance fermentation: vegetables, fresh fruit, juices, fried, smoked or fatty foods.

Another important point: in any case do not excommunicate the crumbs from the chest, if the poisoning has come for the period of excommunication. Mother's milk very well maintains a favorable microflora in the intestines, and the recovery of the baby on breastfeeding will go much faster.
When the child recovers, be sure to give him a course of probiotics (according to pediatrician recommendations). Probiotics contain useful lactic acid bacteria, thanks to which the intestinal microflora is restored more quickly.
