According to Dr. Komarovsky, the microbes that excite intestinal diseases are not capable of affecting the entire gastrointestinal tract. That is, only its separate departments are affected. The inflammatory process of each such department is called in its own way, so the medical name of inflammation of the stomach - this is gastritis.
This is the "specific department" doctors define quite easily. It all depends on the symptoms of the disease in children, as well as the appearance of feces. However, establishing the exact name of the disease for general symptoms is difficult.
The main symptom of gastritis on Komarovsky
After the pathogens of intestinal infections penetrate into the children's body, they begin to actively spread, which leads, first of all, to violations of the digestive function, and in addition to inflammation of the cells of the gastric mucosa. According to Komarovsky, the typical and most characteristic consequence of the two above processes is the main symptom that arises with each intestinal infection - diarrhea. Other signs, such as nausea, vomiting, pain in the abdomen, fever, lack of appetite, general weakness are common in children very often, but not necessarily symptoms of gastritis.
Komarovsky about the dangers of gastritis
As Dr. Komarovsky says on video, the most important thing is to prevent dehydration of the body and loss of salts with diarrhea! Especially during a gastritis with diarrhea, the child is very weak and, according to the doctor, parents are obliged to take care of the constant replenishment of these stocks.
Komarovsky says that without food, the human body can survive for 2-3 weeks, but in the absence of adequate supply of water, as well as salts( potassium, sodium, calcium), children will not be able to live.
About the most important symptom of gastritis in children Komarowski explained. The remaining symptoms are also important, but not so dangerous for the baby's body.
