What reason is darling dehydrate?
summary
The baby's metabolism is very fast, several times as fast as that of adults, which means that the baby's body is easier to lose water. Now the heating conditions are good, the indoor temperature is too high, and some parents are afraid of freezing the baby, give the baby to wear thick cotton padded clothes. In this case, it is very easy to dehydrate the baby. According to the clinical manifestations such as anterior fontanelle, eye socket, skin elasticity, circulation and urine volume, dehydration can be judged and the degree of dehydration can be estimated. Now let me talk to you about the cause of baby dehydration?
What reason is darling dehydrate?
One is to ask the cause: vomiting and diarrhea are the most common causes of dehydration in children, and the long-term insufficient intake and the rare diabetes insipidus are also one of the reasons. If children are suspected of dehydration and can ask for a clear reason, dehydration can be diagnosed. If there is no clear cause of fluid intake or loss of body fluid, it is necessary to carefully consider whether it is really dehydration. Sometimes severe infection is similar to moderate to severe dehydration.
The second is to ask about drinking water: Generally speaking, children will have dry mouth after dehydration. The parents' reaction is that they drink more water, and the degree of dry mouth can also initially reflect the degree of dehydration. Some children with severe dehydration can't wait to drink when they see water, and even drink at the tap directly. This situation is occasionally seen in older children. Severe dehydration of xerostomia is more common in hypertonic dehydration, and hypotonic dehydration will not have symptoms of xerostomia.
Third, ask urination: oliguria or anuria, there is severe dehydration. Normal urination is not necessarily without dehydration. Some children will drink a lot of boiled water, which seems to urinate a lot, but dehydration still exists, because boiled water has no tension, it can't stay in the body and runs away from urination.
matters needing attention
1. Give your child a cool environment. The lack of water after sweating in summer is not replenished in time, which is easy to cause dehydration. For this kind of non pathological dehydration, parents can prevent and improve as long as they care carefully. For example, it is very important to create a comfortable and cool environment for their children. The surrounding temperature should not be too high to avoid sweating a lot. 2. Drink plenty of boiled water for children. Dehydration of children can be characterized by sweating, irritability and even dry stool. At this time, replenishing water for children is the best way to prevent dehydration, while boiled water with similar body temperature is the best choice. In addition, children under 4 months of pure breast-feeding can also drink water in summer. For children who have added complementary food, not only should they pay attention to drinking water, but also should pay attention to light taste when making complementary food, so as to avoid adding too much salt or sugar to increase the burden on children's kidneys, thus aggravating dehydration. 3. Pathological dehydration should be treated as soon as possible. Pathological dehydration is due to the loss of body fluid caused by other diseases, such as vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration fever. Parents must be cautious. In the face of children with severe diarrhea symptoms, drinking water alone can not solve the problem of dehydration. Parents must follow the doctor's advice, such as infusion in the hospital, or buy oral rehydration salts in pharmacies, and give them to children in strict accordance with the instructions. It should be noted that many children's dehydration belongs to "neonatal dehydration fever". In this case, in addition to physical cooling for children, it is best to hand over the rest to the doctor for treatment.
