Poisoning is a serious consequence of the entry into the body of pathogenic bacteria (salmonella, staphylococcus, streptococcus, enterococcus, etc.) and their toxins. Poisoning is especially dangerous for children due to intoxication, which can cause serious complications, up to the development of chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (pancreatitis, colitis, gastritis, pancreatic dysfunction). When poisoning a patient should immediately provide first aid, and then call a doctor who will diagnose and prescribe treatment. In addition, with poisoning and after it, you must always follow a strict diet, as in children the restoration of the normal operation of the digestive system takes a little longer than in adults.
What to feed a child with poisoning, to some extent depends on the cause of the disease. If food poisoning, then compliance with diet is especially important.
So, the baby's nutrition after poisoning with poor-quality or stale food products should be so.
- On the day of poisoning, when there is an active cleansing of the body of toxins, there must be a minimum amount of food. As a rule, most children at this time themselves refuse to eat. Instead, give the child as much drink as possible (water, loose tea, compote, chamomile broth).
- If the baby still asks for food, then give him a little food, but often, in fractions.
- The next day, if the baby is not disturbed by nausea and vomiting, prepare him a mashed potato on the water. When diarrhea necessarily make him rice porridge (only not friable, but, on the contrary, strongly boiled). Instead of sweet, offer to tea bread crumbs of white bread.
- After a day, the menu can be expanded by giving the baby a bio-yogurt for breakfast (it helps restore intestinal microflora), for lunch - a light vegetable soup, and preparing supper meat for dinner.
- Ideal nutrition for poisoning in young children can be children's canned food (vegetable and meat purees of industrial production). They are very easily absorbed by the child's body, which is important in this disease.
- Do not feed the child with pasta, rolls, ice cream, chocolate, chips - this can only aggravate the situation.
- Return to the usual diet for the child should be gradually, within two weeks.
