Peach Mom was recently tossed to the point of being burned by the baby. Since last week, She has caught a cold because of the hot and cold weather. The cold was getting better, and the fever came to the door again. Strangely, after the fever, the baby's cold symptoms (runny nose, cough) did not worsen, but the urine was not normal.
Peach cried out in pain as soon as she peed, and she kept squatting on the small toilet and didn't want to get up, saying that she hadn't finished peeing. Peach mom suddenly panicked, quickly took the child to the hospital for examination, and found that it was actually a "urinary tract infection" caused by the disaster!
It turns out that urinary tract infections are not the exclusive property of adults, and children will also be entangled in it. And the baby has a urinary tract infection, and sometimes the symptoms are just fever. Some babies may cry irritablely and spit out when fed to him.
It should be noted that the smaller the baby, the milder the symptoms and is not easily detected by parents. So moms must observe carefully. Intuition judges that the baby is not right - for example, if the baby has the following symptoms, whether there is a fever or not, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital at the first time:
Often cry out in pain when urinating (babies cry);
Frequent urination, but very little urine per session;
The color of the urine is cloudy and red, and there is blood in the urine;
Have learned to go to the toilet, but suddenly began to wet their pants frequently;
Stomach pain occurs, especially in the lower abdomen.
Hey, if you are not careful, Eva is still recruited. Some confused parents will think so —
"Baby actually got a urinary tract infection, strange and embarrassed." Don't wait any longer, see if it gets better. ”
"After a urinary tract infection, give the baby more water to drink, and you will be able to heal yourself."
"Anyway, there are still medicines for urinary tract infections at home, so give them to the baby first."
……
Mom and Dad, don't mess around. If you have a urinary tract infection, the most important thing is to treat it early! And urinary tract infections will not heal themselves, treatment is not timely, there may be further aggravation of the infection, pyelonephritis, sepsis, etc., and even lead to kidney damage, then regret death.
Usually, in addition to ordinary urine tests (urine routine, urine culture), the doctor will also do an ultrasound of your child to assess for potential developmental abnormalities (e.g., malformed kidneys, ureteral stenosis, vesicoureteral reflux, etc.). Because these developmental abnormalities can lead to urine accumulation, not flowing, like a pool of stagnant water, it can easily lead to bacterial infection. Mothers should not refuse, and be bold and reassured to let the baby go for examination.
Antibiotics are generally the most effective treatment for urinary tract infections caused by bacteria. One to two days after taking the medicine, the symptoms of infection can be relieved. But mothers must give the baby a complete course of treatment according to the dose prescribed by the doctor, so as to ensure that the pathogenic bacteria are completely killed.
Urinary tract infections are a common disease among children! Basically, they are all caused by bacterial infections, and only a very small number are urinary system abnormalities.
Baby girls are more likely to be recruited. Because compared with male babies, female babies have genitals closer to the anus, shorter urethra, and are more likely to be infected by bacteria.
However, it is not very easy for bacteria to enter the urethra, and the baby's resistance is sticky, and a bubble of urine can wash away the bacteria. It is important to do the following precautions:
It should be done —
● Change diapers frequently
This is important. Long-term pocket dirty diapers,, urine has not been cleaned up in time, a brain hoarded in the diaper. The bacteria in these excrement can easily burrow into your baby's genitals and cause infection.
● Wipe your ass correctly
After changing your baby's diapers or pooping, you should rub your baby's ass from the genitals to the anus (especially baby girls) to reduce the chance of bacteria entering the genitals. Especially for babies who are ready to enter kindergarten, it is best for mothers to teach their children to wipe their farts correctly in advance.
● Wear cotton underwear
Babies who have quit diapers should give him penetrating cotton panties, and don't choose nylon and chemical fiber underwear. This keeps the little fart dry and also prevents the bacteria from multiplying.
● Drink plenty of water
Usually let the baby drink more water and fully consume fruits and vegetables. Developing good eating habits can not only urinate more to wash away bacteria, but also prevent constipation and reduce the risk of urinary tract infections.
Don't do this —
No crotch pants
The baby's genitals are exposed without any protection, the lively and active baby loves to sit and crawl everywhere, and the little dirty hands love to touch everywhere. The "always open door" provides great convenience for bacteria.
No holding back urine
Urine properly carries bacteria out of the genitals. Holding urine will keep the bacteria in the body. If there is a baby in kindergarten, the mother should tell the child: "Once you want to pee, tell the teacher, don't be shy, don't hold back urine." ”
Do not use harsh soap
Irritating soaps or prolonged bubble baths can irritate your baby's genitals and upset the balance of normal colonies.
At the end of the day, as long as you can resist the invasion of bacteria, your baby will not be entangled in urinary tract infections. The above teaches everyone these, mothers don't be lazy!
However, in case of accidental urinary tract infection, don't panic too much, as long as it is treated in time, it is generally not a big problem. After taking the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, the baby will soon be able to recover from life.
