The symptom of diarrhea in babies is extremely common, because there are many reasons that can cause diarrhea in babies. As long as parents are not careful and do not take good care of their babies, this situation is easy to occur. So, how many days does diarrhea usually take for babies? Regarding this issue, it needs to be analyzed in conjunction with the causes of diarrhea. Let's take a look together with the editor.
If the baby's diarrhea is caused by parents changing their diapers too slowly or not drying their body quickly after taking a shower, resulting in the baby's abdomen catching a cold, then parents should immediately let the baby drink warm water to keep the baby's abdomen warm, or parents can rub their hands warm and place them on the baby's abdomen. This kind of diarrhea caused by catching a cold usually takes one or two days to recover after being treated by parents.
But if the diarrhea is caused by a bacterial infection in the baby, the baby may also experience a decrease in mental health and appetite. At this time, parents should immediately take the baby to the hospital for blood and stool tests to see which bacteria are causing the infection, and ask the doctor to prescribe corresponding antibacterial drugs for treatment. For diarrhea caused by bacterial infection, the recovery time usually takes about a week.
Baby diarrhea may also be caused by parasitic infection. If the above conditions are ruled out, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for diagnosis of parasitic infection. If it is, the doctor needs to prescribe some deworming drugs for treatment to quickly eliminate the parasite from the body. Due to the need to recheck whether the parasite is completely eliminated, it will take two weeks.
