Treating Diorrhoea in Children and Babies

Diorrhoea can be very unpleasant at the best of times but it is especially hard on children and babies. we wanted to share with your our tips on surviving it as well as some over the counter medicines available.
  • Keep them hydrated with water containing salt and sugar. Dioralyte is great for this but is only suitable for children over one. Dioralyte is used to replace the salt, glucose and other minerals that are lost during episodes of diarrhoea and vomiting.
Also available in Citrus and Natural Flavor

  • If your child won’t drink Dioralyte then you can use flat 7up (boiled and cooled to remove the fizz).
  • Give them foods they like but avoid anything fatty or spicy. foods like banana, potatoes and rice are great.
There are now two products available over the counter that can help with diarrhoea.

Dioclear
 
Children under one year should get 1 to 2 sachets a day and children up to age 6 can gave 2 to 3 sachets a day. Dissolve the contents of a sachet in water or another liquid. 8 sachets €10.95


Tasectan Kids 

Tasectan Kids are sachets aswell but is only recommended to children over 2. doses Doses depend on the age of the child (under 3 - 1 sachets every 6 hours, 3 to 14 - 1 or 2 sachets every 6 hours, over 14 years - 2 sachets every 6 hours) 10 sachets €8.95

If you are really worried about your child call into us or give their doctor a quick call for further advice.
