Yesterday, the CDC announced that the city's communicable disease surveillance report shows that recent viral diarrhea in infants increased significantly, compared with the same period last year, the number of children with diarrhea in the last week nearly doubled. Moreover, these children with diarrhea and about 70% three years old.

Infant viral diarrhea is one of the common diseases of children fall and winter seasons.

Rotavirus infection in infants with acute gastroenteritis usually appear based on clinical symptoms, ie, watery diarrhea, fever, vomiting and abdominal pain, diarrhea, mostly things like white rice or yellow-green water will dilute egg patterns.

How can parents determine the child diarrhea or need emergency hospital treatment? Yi Bo said that parents can be judged from three aspects: the number of diarrhea, fever, mental state. If a child in a day less than six times the number of diarrhea without fever, mental and movement is normal, generally do not need hospital treatment. Parents can supplement children's nutrition and water, if fed soup, can be properly salt, usually 5-7 days will ease the condition, self-healing. If diarrhea in children over six times a day, resulting in severe dehydration, or is accompanied by fever, poor mental state, you need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

It is understood that rotavirus vaccines are currently available for vaccination, may be effective in preventing diarrhea in children caused by rotavirus. Live attenuated oral rotavirus vaccine inoculation parents voluntarily second type of vaccine at their own expense. The vaccine immunization target of 2-month-old infants -3 years of age, immunization program: 7 months, 19 months and 31 months of age each orally once every one (3ml).
