Travel is often a time of boon and bane. We, the mobile generation of the jetsetting age, are often all too familiar with the boons. Travel brings us fun, excitement, a breath of fresh air to our daily routines and a rejuvenation of kinship and bonding among our loved ones when we travel together as family.
But then; Alas ─ we are also too aware of the banes of travel. Along with stress, unforseen stumbling blocks and illness that could thwart an enjoyable time, diarrhea comes almost to the top of the list as one of the major woes that could spoil an otherwise perfect holiday.
In fact, diarrhea is such a common occurrence to travelers that it has even got a name: Traveler’s Diarrhea. Often sudden, explosive, painful, draining, dehydrating and incapacitating, it can put paid to any holiday the instant it occurs, including one where you have taken your children and baby along.
Why does traveler’s diarrhea occur? Read: “Worried That Diarrhea Will Ruin Your Holidays? Here’s How To Stop The Runs In Its Tracks” for valuable pointers.
Children Get Diarrhea Worse than Adults
When children get traveler’s diarrhea, they invariably get it worse than adults. On top of that, babies and toddlers are at particular high risk of being afflicted and they suffer more acute consequences.
Apart from experiencing abdominal pains, vomiting, high fever and a frequent defecation of watery stools, traveler’s diarrhea in children can cause severe dehydration resulting in a dry mouth, crying without tears, sunken eyes or sunken soft spot (fontanelle) on baby’s head and decreased urination.
These symptoms are dangerous. You will need to disrupt your holiday and bring the child to a paediatrician or hospital immediately. This could be tricky if your holiday accommodation is located far from the nearest medical facility or if you are in a foreign land where you don’t speak the language.
Fortunately, you can prevent all of this if you remember to put DiaResQ® into your Travel First Aid Kit.
