Parasitic infection. A parasitic infection may also cause diarrhea in the baby. Giardiasis (also known as pyrigiasis), for example, is caused by a microscopic parasite that lives in the gut. Therefore, practicing good hygiene, such as changing diapers and washing hands, is the best way to stop the spread of parasitic infections.

Prevent dehydration. Dehydration does not occur by constantly replacing water and salt lost through diarrhea and vomiting with oral rehydration salts. Oral rehydration salts (ORS) 1000 ml, containing 3.5 grams of sodium chloride, 2.5 grams of sodium bicarbonate, 1.5 grams of potassium chloride, and 20 grams of glucose, dosage as prescribed by the doctor, but the amount used to prevent and treat dehydration and the speed of drinking are different. Oral rehydration salts contain a sugar concentration of 2%, research has proved that this sugar concentration is most conducive to mediating salt and water into the body to supplement the loss of diarrhea, its effect has been recognized by the world, is a good medicine to prevent and treat diarrhea dehydration.
Children with abdominal diarrhea can not eat high-fat foods: due to diarrhea when the digestive ability is reduced, cream, fat, pastry and other high-fat foods, often due to fat digestion and lead to slippery intestine, resulting in diarrhea.
