Starting with messy diapers and endless needs of their children, parents have a lot to deal with and look out for. As if all that is not enough, there’s the very scary risk of food poisoning. Even though it lasts only a couple of days, it is as mean to kids as it is to adults.


               
           
               
                   

What’s worse, the best you can do is offer care and comfort. Nigerian rainy season brings in such sickness as complimentary and it becomes more important than ever for the parents to be cautious. Children engage in so many activities both at home and at school. Therefore, the risk of food poisoning in kids is very real and should be taken seriously.


               
           
               
                   

What Is Food Poisoning In Kids?


               
           
               
                   

Doctors often describe food poisoning as an illness that comes on quickly after your child eats contaminated food or drinks contaminated water. The child then gets diarrhea or begins to vomit some hours after the infection kicks in. Sometimes, chronic food poisoning can mean a visit to the hospital.

Children younger than 5 years have a higher chance of getting infected because their immune systems are not strong enough to combat germs yet. Because children are smaller, all the vomiting and stooling quickly takes its toll on them and may lead to dehydration. Getting dehydrated is the most common serious complication of food poisoning in children. Thankfully, food poisoning in kids usually goes away quickly, like it does in adults.
