　　Different ways to deal with diarrhea during pregnancy

　　Diarrhea during pregnancy should be taken seriously, but there is no need to be overly nervous. First, remove the cause of the disease, change the fluid to a digestible diet, fast if necessary, and rehydrate.

　　Diarrhea caused by non-infectious factors. If diarrhea caused by infectious factors is ruled out, medication is generally not required, and appropriate fluid replenishment is enough. Oral "rice soup" with a small amount of salt and sugar can be taken to replenish the water and electrolytes lost due to diarrhea. In severe cases, fasting and fluid rehydration are required. Take Smecta or activated charcoal tablets to protect gastrointestinal mucosa ； You can also take lactic acid enzyme tablets or lactase raw tablets to adjust the intestinal flora, strengthen the body and eliminate evil.

　　Diarrhea due to infectious factors. If the test shows the presence of infectious factors, take erythromycin or cephalosporin antibiotics if necessary. The drugs are relatively safe for mother and baby. But even if it is safe, it should be used as little or as little as possible, and fluids should be replenished in time.

　　Try to avoid diarrhea in late pregnancy

　　Pregnant mothers suffering from diarrhea usually return to normal bowel movements after 24 to 96 hours. At this time, the load on various organs in the pregnant mother's body is significantly increased, and diarrhea can easily "make matters worse", further increasing the load on the heart, kidneys and other organs. In mild cases, it may induce premature labor, and in severe cases, it may endanger life safety.
