Symptoms and Diagnosis of gastritis

Gastritis, as any other serious disease goes through several stages, from acute to chronic. In any case, it is dangerous to health. Acute gastritis is called severe inflammation of the gastric mucosa.

Possible increase in body temperature (up to 39 ° C), a disorder of the chair.

If your child has all of the above symptoms, it's time to analyze what he could eat. After all, most acute form of gastritis manifests itself in the use of any products (missing or unhealthy).

Today, there are a few reasons why your child has manifested gastritis. It may be:

  • Food poisoning (check the expiration date of all that baby ate the day before);
  • Eating foods that irritate the stomach;
  • Reactions to medications and allergies.

When the first symptoms of acute gastritis immediately call a doctor. In this case, without a diagnosis, which is carried out by experienced professionals can not do. Incompetent person is very easy to make a mistake and did not notice the more serious surgical diseases (appendicitis, bowel obstruction, etc.).

Some diseases are life-threatening little patient, so a correct diagnosis is to help a doctor. Call an ambulance, not a pediatrician, because the first will arrive much faster. And do not give up hospitalization is better to leave quietly admissions, knowing that no surgical pathology, worry and tremble at the slightest pretext.

Please note, after the normalization of the child will want to eat. But the first three days, and it takes so much inflammation of acute gastritis, food must be limited to light diet dishes. For example, from cereals, you can offer a daze oat, rice, buckwheat. All they need to be cooked in the water rather than milk. Well suited the mashed potatoes. It should also be devoid of fat (ie without butter, gravy). A great nutritious meal, in this case considered to be soup vegetable broth. By the way, do not buy the products of fast food, as it can only worsen the condition of the child.

Diet for gastritis in children has its limitations. In no event should not be given sausages, chips, crisps, chocolate, fizzy drinks. Prefer dishes, steamed, weak tea and juice, dry biscuits, and dried bread. Well, if you got the steamer to the food was nutritious and harmless. So, for example, you do not have to use a lot of sunflower oil and salt.

Thinking baby menu, consider the fact that the food must be fractional and frequent - 5-6 times a day. Serve warm, not hot and not cold. Do not overfeed the child and try these days strictly observe the regime: the little patient must sleep well, a walk in the fresh air and eat only healthy food. With all the restrictions, diet is extremely effective and it is often the body heals kids.

If acute process overcome and treated quickly enough, the chronic form can last for years. Chronic gastritis appears regularly in the right upper quadrant pain, upper abdominal and umbilical area. This child is often sick, his torment regurgitation and heartburn, constipation and diarrhea, often diagnosed with anorexia. It is also a sure sign of not only chronic gastritis and other disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, are patches on the tongue and halitosis.

However, the diagnosis of "chronic gastritis" children rarely placed. There are several reasons. The first - the doctor has the right to make such judgments solely on the basis of several studies, including and after endoscopic examination of the stomach (or gastroscopy). The procedure is unpleasant and not even all adults suffer, not to mention the small and sensitive to any stimuli children.

Improper operation of the above is bad for the state of the stomach, which is signaled and frequent pain in this area.
