As typhoon season goes full blast, kids are more prone to all sorts of sicknesses. Diarrhea is one hazard that can and should be dealt with as quickly as possible. Here are some tips from to take note of.

Call the Doctor
If you suspect your child may have gotten diarrhea due to contaminated water, contact your pediatrician right away. E.Coli and Salmonella can be dangerous to children if not treated immediately. Also, a doctor’s advice is important with regards to administering medication as adult anti-diarrhea drugs may be hazardous to kids if not given in correct doses.

You should call the doctor if you see these warning signs:

- Hasn't had a wet diaper in three or more hours
- Vomiting
- Fever of more than 39C (102 F)
- Bloody or black stools
- Dry mouth, cries without tears
- Sunken appearance to the eyes, cheeks and abdomen
- Has skin that doesn't flatten if pinched and released   
- Is unusually sleepy, drowsy, irritable or unresponsive

hi there..can you give me a strategy on how my son will drink the oresol solution (ORS) whenever he's suffering from LBM/diarrhea. doctor advice that it is the only way to replace the water he is disposing.

[mommielynne]

sis if he doesn't want the plain ORS, try the flavored ones (pedialyte). i use syringe for my son if he really doesn't wanna take it. little by little, don't force him to drink a lot right away. my pedia once advice me if my son doesn't really want to drink the ORS then try the "second best" alternatives such as; gatorade, FLAT 7-up (make the CO2 evaporate 1st), frostee, gelatine, and the likes. if you notice that after every milk intake he's pooping then he might be having lactose intolerance and might wanna consider switching to a lactose-free milk during the duration of diarrhea.

hi mommies! you can also try GLUCOLYTE SOlUTION. 100ml-200ml every after you're babies episode (LBM) c",) and it has 3 flavors, plain, apple & orange..

sis pwede na ba sa 2 years and 5 months yung gatorade may amoeba po kasi ang baby ko and she doesn't want to drink pedialyte kahit anong flavor

[mommy_geli]

AFAIK ok lang yung gatorade. kasi when my baby had diarrhea inadvice samin ng pedia niya yung gatorade kasi ayaw niya talagang inumin yung pedialyte. we tried the straberry/raspberry flavor and the plain one pero nasayang lang, since kelangan maconsume yung pedialyte w/in 24hrs.

my son also has a recurring amoebiasis. we just watched out for signs of dehydration. good thing is he always drinks  milk.

[momy_eona]

ok din yakult or chamito sa diarrhea, advice din yan ng pedia ng baby ko, atleast yun sigurado maiinom mga babies nyo, may good bacteria na masarap pa.

hi mga mommies. help naman. im currently mix feeding my 13-day old baby. her poop color is mustard yellow but I noticed na medyo matubig yung consistency ng poop ni baby. so chinek ko and napansin ko nga na may pagka watery sya pero may buo-buo naman na parang seedy.

how will i know if this is normal or if it's already a diarrhea??

my baby doesn't have sunken eyes or fever and she wets her nappies mga around 6-9 times a day and clear naman yung pee niya. her stool naman din doesn't have any foul smell. she nurses every 1 to 2 hours on my breasts and pag kulang pa i give her formula.

my gosh parang konting pagbabago napapraning agad ako
thanks po

I'm just new here, gusto ko lang manghingi ng advice. I have a 4 months old baby. He's milk is bonna since he was born yun na dinede niya coz wala milk na lumabas sakin. Then bigla nalng sya nagtae na parang buto ng kamatis, sometimes green sometimes yellow. We rush him to the hospital and na examin stool and urine niya,doctor says wala naman daw baka may nasubo lang since dumadapa na sya.Doctor gave him Bacillus Clausi 2x a day hinahalo sya sa milk and also Zinc vit. na kailangan niya i take for 5 days. After 5 days wala padin same pa din pupu niya so we rush him back to the hospital coz im so worried. Again test uli ng stool niya then binago yung medicine niya to  nifuroxazide ercefuryl and pina change din milk niya to lactose free. Now di na sya masyado nagtatae unlike before na everytime he drinks milk mag pupu sya. Nestogen lactose free milk niya ngayon kasi yun lang afford ko single mom lang kasi ako. and i'm still worried hindi kasi sya kasing takaw ng dati nd yung pupu niya parang cerelac. I need an advice kung papalitan ko ba sya uli ng milk? parang gumaan na kasi sya unlike before 8 ang timbang niya 7.6 nalang ngayon nung pina check ko.

I don't think gatorade is good, sports drink has high sodium content and sodium attracts water out kaya lalo madedehydrate ang baby.

2 months ago,nagka-diarrhea din son ko and his pedia gave him probiokids, the one in sachet that cost P75 each na hinahalo sa milk good for 1 feeding only every sachet. para din syang oresol.so far ok naman,plus i make sure na meron talaga sya stock lagi ng yakult to aid his digestion.

never ko pa din sya napa-try ng gatorade,i don't know pero parang feeling ko di pa ganun ka-advisable for my son.

ask ko lang po yung probiokid, para lang ba siyang yakult.. kasi, may bad breathe yung baby ko pati laway niya medyo may amoy na hindi usual sa baby, sa pagpapacheckup niya, niresetahan siya ng ProBioKid tapos P50 per sachet kay dra. lang available....

[- Mommy Jo -]

^sis diege yung probiokids nakapack lang sya ng maliit similar din sa packaging ng oresol and pedialyte,but the thing is basta lang sya foil.imagine mo yung kasama ng mga instant noodles, ganun sya. i think sa mga pedia nga lang sya nabibili,nagcheck ako sa mercury drug last time pero wala sila. napamahal pa pala ko dun sa 75/sachet 

ilang taon na si baby mo sis?

hi mommy jo, ;p

bumili na rin po ako kay dra. ni baby, para ngang seasoning ng lucky me yung packing nung Probiokids ;p pero iba epekto sa anak ko weh,

nagkabronchitis kasi muna siya bago ko tinry yung pagppainom ng probio, kaso, sinusuka niya talaga after ng feeding, isinasama ko kasi sa dede. maaring gag reflex lang pag naubo kaya siya nasuka, pero thrice ko na ginawa yun pero thrice niya rin sinuka yung gatas na may probiokid. nagtanong din ako sa mercury pero walang probiokid.. sa states lang ata yun nabibili tapos mga pedia eh nakuha sa kanila. pero since mahal yun, ang ginagawa ko nalang para ireplace yung pro and prebio need niya eh bumili ng mga probiotic drinks such as: yakult, dutchmilk, and yogurt na nestle fruit selection. naghelp naman kay baby, nawala na yung baho ng hininga at laway niya ngayon...

kaso nga lang, iba pa rin yung meron sa probiokids, yung ibang good bacteria niya hindi kapareho ng meron sa mga probiotic and yogurt drinks

1-1/2 years old na po si bjorn ngayon ;p
