TABLOIDBINTANG.COM – Most people often use long vacation moments to take long trips or recreation to various entertainment venues. At times like this, control over health usually decreases.
Apart from paying less attention to the quality of food intake, the hygiene factor is also slightly neglected. A vacation that was supposed to be enjoyable was forced to end with misfortune due to the emergence of various health problems.
One common health problem is stomach flu or gastroenteritis. And this is commonly experienced by children who are more susceptible to diseases directly related to food.
Stomach flu itself is an inflammatory condition in the stomach and intestines caused by infection with bacteria, viruses, parasites and toxins. Transmission occurs through contaminated food and drink, hands that are not washed properly after urinating and defecating in public toilets, and close contact with infected people.
Some of the symptoms that appear when someone has stomach flu include:
– Diarrhea
It is usually very liquid and sometimes contains blood if the cause is bacteria.
– Nauseous
Sometimes vomiting or both, nausea and vomiting.
– Abdominal pain
Stomach cramps and loss of appetite due to diarrhea and vomiting.
– Dehydration
Dry skin, chapped lips, feeling very thirsty and dizzy.
– Electrolyte imbalance
This is a result of diarrhea and excessive vomiting and lack of fluids. If stomach flu sufferers are very young children, this condition can lead to death if not treated seriously.
– Fever, headache, chills, aches and feeling tired.
If the cause of stomach flu is a virus, then the symptoms that appear will be similar to the common cold. This causes parents to often have wrong diagnoses and wrong treatment. Take your child to the doctor for a more accurate examination.
Apart from seeing a doctor and getting the right treatment, when your child starts showing symptoms of stomach flu, avoid giving your child milk drinks, oily and spicy foods. Just drink lots of water that is cooked by boiling for 3 minutes, drink electrolytes, and eat food that is perfectly cooked. Also avoid snacks that are not guaranteed to be clean.
