Question

A child is suffering from severe vomiting and acute diarrhoea. Mention two precautions to avoid it.

Answer 1

Diarrhoea:

1. Diarrhoea is the frequent passing of loose, watery and unformed faces. Acute diarrhoea is the sudden onset of three or more loose stools per day, lasting less than 14 days.
2. Escherichia coli and salmonella bacteria, which cause vomiting and diarrhoea in children, are the two main agents of this disease.

Precautions to avoid diarrhoea:

1. Consumption of oral rehydration treatment (ORS) is the acronym or full version of the term. Avoid junk food since bacteria and viruses thrive in spoiled food and an unsanitary atmosphere.
2. Eat always homecooked meals where we preserve hygiene, as well as obtain instruction from various health facilities on how the infection spreads and how we may be vigilant.
