Rotovirus infection is a special subspecies of food disorders, the causative agent of which is the genus of viruses belonging to the family Reoviridae. This ailment most often affects children, because their immunity is not yet developed enough to cope with the insidious viruses that swarm all around.
What happens in this disease - the viruses try to penetrate the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, where they successfully hit it, and due to their vital activity, cause typical symptoms of eating disorders - vomiting, diarrhea, fever.
With rotovirus, the child, of course, can not do without a diet, because the essence of therapeutic nutrition - as soon as possible to remove the causative agents of the disease from the digestive tract, normalize the patient's condition (protect from dehydration and ensure the supply of all necessary nutrients). The menu should be very gentle, but full. In addition, the diet with rotovirus should be supplemented with special useful decoctions, which will give strength due to the content of glucose and will retain moisture due to the salt content.
Menu
On the first day of the disease, it is best to dispense with home-made curative decoctions (we will describe them below), because the digestion of a child is not yet able to cope even with the most easily digested food.
On the second day, with rotovirus, children begin to have a sparing diet. White bread is forbidden, it should be replaced with crumbs of white loaf, sweets - layered marmalade, everything else for the next two weeks, to put it mildly, is not welcome.
Breakfasts:
- scrambled eggs;
- home-made non-acidic cottage cheese ;
- semolina / rice / buckwheat porridge on vegetable broth;
- for breakfast we add tea with cracker.
Lunches:
- chicken or meat soup of a very weak cook with well-cooked vegetables and cereals;
- meat or fish meatballs for a couple;
- broth from a dogrose.
Dinners:
- fish cutlets for a couple;
- garnish - well-cooked porridge or carrot puree (from boiled carrots).
As bites are allowed and welcome baked apples.
Nutrition with rotovirus means switching to boiled and baked foods, nothing raw in the menu should not be, until the condition (well-being, stool) is normalized.
In a few days, you can enter into the diet of sour-milk products. They favorably affect the beneficial intestinal microflora, speeding up cleansing from pathogens and regenerating tissues of the mucosa of the alimentary canal.
Regardless of the rapid recovery of the patient, the following products should be avoided within two weeks:
- cold drinks and food;
- sauerkraut, salinity, pickled products;
- beans;
- beet;
- whole milk;
- Rye bread;
- ice cream;
- millet.
Broths with rotovirus
So, with what diet is used with rotovirus, figured out, now we pass to no less important fluids. Any foodborne infections that go away with vomiting and diarrhea drain the body. Just drinking, making a child swallow water through can not not be very effective, because all the water can easily leave the body with the same vomiting.
Therefore, pharmacies sell special solutions with sodium content, which binds the liquid. The problem is that children are very reluctant to drink such chemist's stuff. In this case, you have to conjure in the kitchen yourself.
First, you need to prepare a water-salt solution. In 1 liter of water you need to boil 100 grams of raisins for an hour, constantly suppressing the raisins, so that it dissolves as much as possible. We need to keep glucose in the water.
If the child does not want to drink and this, you just have to dilute our solution with tea from mint and chamomile .
Secondly, a "tasty" solution. You can go to it when the symptomatology goes down. We will make a carrot-apple mixture - a source of pectin. To do this, take ½ kg of carrots and apples, clean and cook until completely softened in 1 liter of water. Rub and add 5 tsp. Sahara. We bring it back to the boil and poured over previously sterilized bottles. We let the mixture cool down, then store it in the refrigerator and preheat it slightly before use.
