3. Babies tend to get sick in summer.

1, diarrhea

When the weather is hot, the baby sweats a lot. If drinking water is insufficient, the digestive juice in the body such as saliva, gastric juice, intestinal juice, bile and pancreatic juice will decrease, which will affect the baby's appetite and digestive function, and the baby is prone to diarrhea. Bacterial and viral infections are also common causes of infantile diarrhea, among which rotavirus infection is the most common. Infection with the virus may cause gastrointestinal dysfunction in infants, and even intestinal infectious diseases such as enteritis and dysentery.

Symptoms:

Baby's mild diarrhea is characterized by loss of appetite and occasional vomiting; In a serious day, the number of stools reaches ten or even dozens, and stools are often accompanied by a lot of water. If diarrhea is severe, it can also lead to dehydration and even shock. Mom should pay attention to the baby's stool. If there are any abnormalities, such as water samples, mushy and sticky feces, she should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Prevent diarrhea caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction.

2, heatstroke

It is easy to sweat in summer, the baby's skin sweat glands are not fully developed, and the water storage in the body is limited. Excessive sweating is easy to cause dehydration shock. Breathing is an important way for human body to dissipate heat, because the lung is a secondary heat dissipation organ except the skin, and the hot air in the lung can be discharged from the body when exhaling (10% of the discharged heat). But if the ambient temperature is higher than the body temperature, inhaling hot air will even raise the body temperature. Because the baby can't effectively control breathing to regulate body temperature in summer, it is prone to summer injury.

Symptoms:

The baby's skin turns red first, and you can feel dry and hot when you touch it. Babies are restless, some will cry, their breathing and pulse will accelerate, and then they will feel tired, dizzy, twitch or fall into a coma, and their temperature can be as high as 39℃ or above.

Summer indoor air conditioning environment, outdoor high temperature, indoor and outdoor temperature difference, baby is easy to catch a cold in summer. The baby does not sweat, is thirsty, urinates heavily, loses appetite, looks pale and fidgety, and the course of disease can last 1-2 months.
