Children's enemy ROTAVIRUS;

The most dangerous virus is rotavirus, which causes diarrhoea in children, Due to the infection of this virus watery diarrhoea starts suddenly.Diarrhoea sometimes caused by such as milk ,curd,rice,etc. Which contain bacteria that are the main cause of diarrhoea.

Diarrhea DIAGNOSE;

Diarrhea is diagnosed by testing blood and the patient's stool while the virus is identified. 

Diarrhea causes in children;

Dehydration in children can be assessed by their appearance condition.Diarrhea in children is usually caused by contagious   various viruses because some  mothers give up milk to their children due to various reasons, which weakens the immunity of the baby a variety of germs. By wrapping it, they suffer from various diseases, especially stomach diseases. 

The mother's dirty hands, use of dirty utensils and general lack of hygiene can lead to diarrhea in the child. 

Giving baby plastic bottle milk also causes diarrhea  because this milk is not suitable for the health of the child and sometimes some milk is of substandard and bad quality which causes upset stomach and diarrhea. 

Simply putting dirty and plastic suckers in the mouths of children, which the child continues to suck on himself with dirty hands, has profound effects on baby health. Because it is an unnatural method and causes transmission of germs. 

Due to abundance of flies around and on the mouth of the child, the child gets infected and goes to this critical condition. 

Due to the above mentioned reasons children get diarrhea which causes severe water and salt deficiency in children, sunken eyes, the child becomes very weak. 

Stool is smelly, water is also excreted with food,frequent excessive sweating, abdominal pain and the child tries to cry but can't due to weakness. If not treated in time, death can occur.

Food should be given to the sick children in a liquid state like ORS.

Give a three-month-old baby nothing but breast milk and breastfeed as much as possible.
