“…In cases of severe dehydration, defined as a volume loss exceeding 10%, a different treatment protocol is followed. The rehydration phase for very severe dehydration is considered a medical emergency and necessitates intravenous (IV) treatment, with a rapid administration of 20 ml/kg of isotonic saline [21].…”

The pediatric population is sensitive in every aspect. There are several parts of their bodies that need extreme levels of care and support until these children have reached a mature age. Similarly, there are several aspects of health that require immediate and urgent intervention, particularly in the pediatric population for better care and management. The reason behind this is the delicate and sensitive nature of the children’s health. Compromising any aspect of pediatric care might lead to severe consequences, which could be life-threatening too. Therefore, it is in the best interest of both the parents of the children and the physicians to be vigilant about the affected children’s symptoms just so they do not miss out on any important signs that could be transient or short-lived. Diarrhea is among the pediatric conditions that can very easily take a turn for the worse if it is not managed appropriately. Diarrhea can lead to severe consequences, including death in children, especially the malnourished ones. Diarrhea results in the excessive excretion of water, and electrolytes including sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, and zinc through watery stools. Dehydration ensues when these losses are not sufficiently replenished, leading to deficits in both water and electrolytes. The extent of dehydration is categorized based on symptoms and signs that mirror the quantity of fluid expelled. Depending upon these extents and degrees of dehydration, performing immediate resuscitation measures might be necessary. Among these measures, oral rehydration therapy is considered to be one of the most useful ones. It helps replenish the electrolytes rapidly and without causing any life-threatening consequences, especially when done within the specified time. On the brighter side, these fluid resuscitative measures might be the only interventions required to stop the child's progression further towards a severe form of the disease. This review is based on this fact only, and it revolves around the importance of performing fluid resuscitation and other elementary-level supportive measures that might be the only shot at saving the life of the child if done at an early stage. Thai review will help take action under the right circumstances if such a case arises in the clinical setting.

PHBS is a set of behaviors that are practiced on the basis of awareness as an effort to be healthy and actively help the health of the surrounding environment. Clean and Healthy Behavior at an early age is important to to maintain personal and environmental health. Early childhood is also susceptible to infectious diseases such as flu and diarrhea if they do not maintain personal and surrounding hygiene. Diarrheal disease is often considered a trivial matter but if it is not addressed it can result in quite serious matters. Therefore, we conducted community services which aims to provide students knowledge and understanding about Clean and Healthy Behavior and diarrheal diseases which often attack children at Muhammadiyah 1 Malang Elementary School students. The implementation method is carried out by counseling using power point media and videos. In the initial activity, a question-and-answer session was carried out, then giving educational material, showing educational videos, then evaluating it with a posttest.

“…Diarrhea is a common complication of upper respiratory tract infection in children. It is mainly caused by immune system disorder, bacterial invasion, or common colds, with those in critical condition occasionally suffering from convulsions, acute abdominal pain, or other effects, which cumulatively pose a significant threat to children's physical and mental health (3,4). The risk of respiratory tract infection in children with diarrhea is significantly increased.…”

Background: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of cefuroxime axetil combined with Xingpi Yanger granules on the treatment of upper respiratory tract infection accompanied by diarrhea and on serum gastrin (GAS), motilin (MOT), and somatostatin (SS) levels in children. Methods:In total, 124 children with upper respiratory tract infection accompanied by diarrhea admitted to the department of pediatrics in our hospital from May 2019 to May 2020 were selected and divided into a study group (n=62) and a reference group (n=62), according to admission number. The reference group children received routine treatment, while the children in the study group were treated with cefuroxime axetil combined with Xingpi Yanger granules. After treatment, each clinical index of the children in both groups was detected to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the different treatment methods.Results: There were no significant differences in gender ratio, average age, mean body temperature, mean duration of diarrhea, average weight, or place of residence between the 2 groups (P>0.05); the total clinical effective rate after treatment in the study group was significantly higher than that in the reference group (P<0.05); the dehydration correction time, antipyretic time, antidiarrheal time, and total treatment time in the study group were all significantly lower than those in the reference group (P<0.001); the serum GAS and MOT levels at T1, T2, and T3 in the study group were significantly lower than those in the reference group (P<0.001), whereas the SS levels at T1, T2, and T3 in the study group were significantly higher than those in the reference group (P<0.001); and the incidence of adverse reactions of the children in the study group was significantly lower than that in the reference group (P<0.05).Conclusions: Cefuroxime axetil combined with Xingpi Yanger granules can significantly lower serum GAS, MOT, and SS levels and shorten treatment time in children with upper respiratory tract infection accompanied by diarrhea, with significant clinical efficacy and high safety, and is thus worthy of application and promotion.
