Do Not Panic Facing Child Poisoning

SMALL children have a body more susceptible to food poisoning and can be fatal. Parents often panic when he learned their children in poisoning, when parents panic can make the child condition worse. Parents can do first aid on children who suffered poisoning, if done correctly. 


First, recognize the symptoms, namely abdominal cramps, fever, vomiting, frequent stools mixed with blood, pus, or mucus. Poisoning victim will also feel weak and shivering, and loss of appetite. In infants or toddlers, vomiting and defecation can be a serious problem, because it can cause dehydration. 

Lay your baby and do not give food to children who have to chew first. Instead, give ORS little by little. If you do not have ORS, give it water mixed with salt and sugar. Investigate what caused the poisoning of children. 

If your child refuses to drink any liquid, give melons to suck, or could provide in the form of ice mambo melon, so that his body would not dehydrate. At recovery time, give an easily digestible foods, such as soups, yogurt or jelly. You should also put a bowl or bucket near your baby to vomit container. If the baby fever, Compressed forehead or armpits with a wet towel. Give boiled water to rinse and warm water to clean the mouth of the former vomiting. 

If he is vomiting and diarrhea continued, while the intake of fluid can not be maximized and within 12 hours he was diarrhea, fever, and his condition had not improved, although he still can and want to drink, immediately brought the child to the doctor or ER.
