What are the reasons for the child diarrhea?

Diarrhea, commonly known as diarrhea are common symptoms of children. Plateau due to a lot of diarrhea, and some are “Chihuaiduzai”, some infectious, some are “physical” problem. A number of different diseases with diarrhea as a symptom, so to understand its occurrence plateau due to treatment is helpful. Diarrhea, according to the duration of symptoms can be divided into acute and chronic. Acute diarrhea is usually no more than 14 days. Many of acute diarrhea due to infection, caused by unclean food and water, and common reasons are as follows:

1. Viral gastroenteritis

This is a cause of diarrhea in infants common. The virus is even smaller than bacteria micro-organisms, colds are caused by a virus. Of antibiotics in general can not kill the virus. Diarrhea caused by rotavirus virus is common, there are many other viruses can cause gastroenteritis. Rotavirus antibodies in the blood can check to determine the infection, but there are some viruses are difficult to diagnose. In addition to diarrhea, gastroenteritis caused by a virus will be combined outside the fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and other symptoms. There is no magic bullet for viral gastroenteritis, treatment is usually given enough water and electrolytes to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances in children and in medicine to reduce symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea treatment. Condition approximately one to two weeks time to recovery. Some patients will infect others after the symptoms disappear.

2. Bacterial enteritis

Bacterial enteritis symptoms are usually severe than the virus, sometimes referred to as diarrhea, stool and sometimes Han Xue, there is mucus, often with fever, abdominal cramps, and loss of appetite. Diarrhea caused by bacteria such as Shigella, E. coli, Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae, etc., often cause serious illness, especially in the resistance to poor children. Stool examination and bacterial culture can be found in pathogenic bacteria, but if it had used antibiotics, may affect the culture results. Sometimes, certain diseases due to the use of extensive antibiotic treatment, the use of time is too long will change the large intestine, the bacteria, certain bacterial enteritis caused by a significant increase. Bacterial enteritis of appropriate antibiotic treatment is available, but some infections, antibiotics will not be good, but will become carriers of bacteria lurking in the body.

3. Protozoa gastroenteritis

Protozoa is a single-cell organisms, for humans as a parasite, in some areas of poor environmental sanitation is very common due to acute diarrhea plateau. Intestinal infection by this organism, there will be a lot of watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, no situations such as eating and weight loss. Often causes diarrhea is a flagellate protozoan, Cryptosporidium, amoeba, etc., is usually caused by unclean drinking water or animal infection. Some patients may have to travel abroad and become infected. Such infections can be confirmed that stool examination, and sometimes can also be transmitted through the blood in the diagnosis of the presence of antibodies. Most of the plateau animals infected by the specific drug treatment, but because there is no correct diagnosis is often delayed treatment.

4. Food Poisoning

Food is microbiological or chemical contamination will result in poisoning. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps are often the symptoms, but usually occurs soon after eating. At the same time to eat people would have the same symptoms, but depends on the amount of food into the different, while the severity of different clinical conditions. Mild poisoning themselves too much and will get better, serious may result in kidney failure and even death. Treatment is usually taken to supportive therapy.

Chronic diarrhea is more than 14 days of diarrhea, is usually more complex condition that often require specialist treatment to be effective. Common reasons are as follows:

1. Sequelae of acute diarrhea

Chronic diarrhea may be due to the above did not completely rule of acute diarrhea or acute diarrhea caused by intestinal damage caused. Severe colitis may cause intestinal damage and functional deterioration, resulting in malabsorption. Chronic diarrhea may also be due to the use of antibiotics, changing the type of large intestinal bacteria, beneficial bacteria reduce bad bacteria developed resistance to the large number of breeding, so enteritis have been better off.

2. Lactose intolerance

Dairy products are nutrient-rich foods that contain protein, fats and carbohydrates. Dairy products are mainly in the sugar lactose and its digestion by digestive enzymes, called lactose, the lack of this enzyme can not digest lactose. Lactose digestive enzymes are made from the intestinal mucosal cells, and may be the food of the lactose broken down into smaller molecules to facilitate absorption. In general, older children and adults are not regularly drink milk, then usually the lack of this enzyme. Acute enteritis due to intestinal mucosal injury, there will be a lack of enzymes (so diarrhea and the doctor will tell pause drink milk). The lack of enzymes were varying symptoms, including nausea, abdominal cramps, up gas and diarrhea, usually taking lactose-containing foods assigned to 30 two hours after the occurrence of such symptoms is called lactose intolerance. People, cattle, sheep milk has a different lactose, so lactose intolerant people to drink other types of dairy products will also be symptoms. At present there is no good treatment for lactose intolerance can only be changed to avoid or to eat low-lactose foods. Lactose intolerance and milk protein allergy, which is designed immune problems, in addition to diarrhea, colicky, vomiting, etc. may also have skin rashes, asthma and other symptoms.

3. Other chronic diseases

Some diseases can cause digestion and absorption, because of the absence of nutrition in food is absorbed into the large intestine due to high concentrations stimulate the large intestine; the large intestine of excess nutrients to increase in the number of bacteria, causing enteritis; nutrition through bacterial fermentation, resulting in foul gas, it is very smelly stool will put a lot of fart.

Know the common causes of diarrhea in children after treatment know that the cause must be carried out for different treatment, so as to achieve the desired results.
