What are the symptoms of enteritis in a two-month-old baby?

The immunity of a two-month-old baby is relatively low. If not properly cared for, it is easy to get enteritis. Generally speaking, if a baby has enteritis, the body will show obvious symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Some babies may also have loss of appetite, green stools, and other symptoms. Parents need to pay attention to these. It is best to take the child to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid other complications in the baby.

Bacterial gastroenteritis is relatively serious and can easily cause gastrointestinal bleeding and intestinal perforation and rupture, and may also cause complications such as peritonitis. The main symptoms of enteritis in babies include nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Vomiting is the most common. There are five main symptoms of enteritis in children.

Symptoms of enteritis in children

Symptoms of enteritis in children include diarrhea, rapid onset, frequent nausea and vomiting, severe abdominal pain, frequent diarrhea, and mostly watery stools with undigested food. Symptoms of enteritis in children include fever: children often have fever, headache, and general discomfort, and may also show some symptoms of poisoning.

Symptoms of enteritis in children include nausea and vomiting. When vomiting and diarrhea are severe, dehydration, acidosis or shock may occur. Symptoms of enteritis in children also include abdominal cramps and abdominal tenderness. The children have tenderness in the upper abdomen and around the umbilicus, but no muscle tension or rebound pain.

Other symptoms of enteritis in children include loss of appetite, crying and restlessness. Diarrhea refers to softer, watery bowel movements and more frequent bowel movements. Parents should remember to compare their child's stool pattern with the previous one. Breastfed babies may have bowel movements several times a day. The stool pattern can determine whether it is viral or bacterial gastroenteritis. The stool of children with viral gastroenteritis is watery, soft and without blood or mucus; the stool of children with bacterial gastroenteritis may contain mucus or blood.

Once a baby develops enteritis, the disease will develop very quickly. The baby will begin to have diarrhea and frequent nausea and vomiting. In addition, the baby will have severe abdominal pain, frequent diarrhea, and mostly watery stools with undigested food. This is the most common phenomenon.

In daily life, mothers need to take care of the details of their babies in time, and pay attention to whether the baby has some unhealthy behaviors, such as: decreased appetite, frequent crying, or frequent diarrhea, fever, etc.

If your baby has intestinal diseases, especially a serious disease like enteritis, you should feed your baby some soft food, avoid giving him hard food, and eat less fruit. Wait until your baby is completely recovered before giving him nutritional supplements.

Since children's gastrointestinal tract is still weak, breastfeeding is recommended. Breast milk has high nutritional value, is easy to digest and absorb, and is the best food to prevent diarrhea. If the baby is bottle-fed, be sure to disinfect the eating utensils and try to avoid contamination.
