Vomiting with coronavirus in children: reasons for what to do

The main symptoms of coronavirus in children

A group of pediatricians from China conducted a study to identify the main symptoms of COVID-19 in children and adolescents.

They found out that most often the coronavirus in minors is manifested by fever, diarrhea and vomiting. A study published in Plos Medicine found that 76% of infected children develop fever and 12% suffer from diarrhea.

It turns out that diarrhea is a typical symptom of coronavirus and it occurs in every 10 patients with such a diagnosis.

Why does coronavirus provoke diarrhea?

COVID-19 is able to affect the functioning of the digestive tract, provoke symptoms similar to poisoning.

The child may complain of the following symptoms:

• Sucking pain
• Burning pain,
• Abdominal discomfort.

Diarrhea in a child interferes with the absorption of drugs and also affects mood.

If we are talking about viral diarrhea, then in a child it can be either isolated or combined with other symptoms.

In coronavirus, the reason lies in the physical and chemical effects on a person from the pathogen.

Forecast

In children under 12 years of age, according to doctors, an intestinal infection usually resolves in 7-10 days. Diarrhea is dangerous, first of all, by dehydration of the body, so parents should carefully monitor the amount of water the child drinks. General medications can be given to remove toxins from the body.

If the child's condition begins to deteriorate, in no case self-medicate, see a doctor.

But complications of intestinal coronavirus remain rare, after a week or two, the child returns to a full life.
