THREE RULES FOR HOME TREATMENT
1. Give the child more fluids than usual use home fluid such as cereal gruel give ORESOL, plain water
2. Give the child plenty of food to prevent undernutrition1. continue to breastfeed frequently2. if child is not breastfeed, give usual milk3. if child is less than 6 months and not yet taking solid food, dilute milk for 2 days4. if child is 6 months or older and already taking solid food, give cereal or other starchy
food mixed with vegetables, meat or fish; give fresh fruit juice or mashed banana to
provide potassium; feed child at least 6 times a day. After diarrhea stops, give an extra
meal each day for two weeks.
3. Take the child to the health worker if the child does not get better in 3 days or develops any ofthe following:
1. many watery stools2. repeated vomiting3. marked thirst4. eating or drinking poorly5. fever6. blood in the stool

Two problems in CDD1. High child mortality due to diarrhea2. High diarrhea incidence among under fives
Highest incidence in age 6 23 months Highest mortality in the first 2 years of life Main causes of death in diarrhea :
1. DEHYDRATION2. MALNUTRITION
To prevent dehydration, give home fluids am as soon as diarrhea starts and if dehydration ispresent, rehydrate early, correctly and effectively by giving ORS
For undernutrition, continue feeding during diarrhea especially breastfeeding.5 Interventions to prevent diarrhea
7/30/2019 CHN FINAL.docx
10/28
1. Breastfeeding2. improved weaning practices3. use of plenty of clean water4. hand washing5. proper disposal of stools of small children
Risk of severe diarrhea 10-30x higher in bottle fed infants than in breastfed infants.
Advantages of breastfeeding in relation to CDD
-Breast milk is sterile
-Presence of antibodies protection against diarrhea
-Intestinal Flora in BF infants prevents growth of diarrhea causing bacteria.
Breastfeeding decreases incidence rate by 8-20% and mortality by 24-27% in infants under 6
months of age.
When to wean?
4-6 months soft mashed foods 2x a day
6 months variety of foods 4x a day
Summary of WHO-CDD recommended strategies to prevent diarrhea
Improved Nutrition
exclusive breastfeeding for the first 4-6 months of life and partially for at least
one year.
Improved weaning practices
Use of safe water
collecting plenty of water from the cleanest source
protecting water from contamination at the source and in the home
Good personal and domestic hygiene
handwashing

7/30/2019 CHN FINAL.docx
13/28
ASSESSMENT OF RESPIRATORY INFECTION
ASK THE MOTHER:
1. How old is the child?2. Is the child coughing? For how long?3. Age 2 months up to 5 years: Is the child able to drink?
Age less than 2 months: Has the young infant stopped feeding well?
4. Has the child had fever? For how long?5. Has the child had convulsions? LOOK, LISTEN:1. Count the breaths in one minute.2. Look for chest in drawing.3. Look and listen for stridor.
Stridor occurs when there is a narrowing of the larynx, trachea or epiglottis which
interferes with air entering the lungs.
4. Look and listen for wheeze Wheeze is a soft musical noise which shows signs that breathing out (exhale) is difficult.
5. See if the child is abnormally sleepy or difficult to wake. (Suspect meningitis)6. Feel for fever or low body temperature.7. Check for severe under nutrition

BREASTFEEDING
Breast milk is best for babies up to 2 years old. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended forthe first six months of life. At about six months, give carefully selected nutritious foods as
supplements.

BENEFITS :
7/30/2019 CHN FINAL.docx
21/28
For infants
a. Provides a nutritional complete food for the young infant.b. Strengthens the infants immune system, preventing many infections.c. Safely rehydrates and provides essential nutrients to a sick child, especially to those suffering
from diarrheal diseases.
d. Reduces the infants exposure to infection.COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING FOR BABIES 6-11 MONTHS OLD
What are Complementary Foods? foods introduced to the child at the age
6 months to supplement breastmilk
given progressively until the child is used to three meals and in-between feedings at theage of one year.
Why is there a Need to Give Complementary Foods? breastmilk can be a single source of nourishment from birth up to six months of life.
The childs demands for food increases as he grows older and breastmilk alone is not enough tomeet his increased nutritional needs for rapid growth and development
Breastmilk should be supplemented with other foods so that the child can get additionalnutrients
Introduction of complementary foods will accustom him to new foods that will also provideadditional nutrients to make him grow well
Breastfeeding, however, should continue for as long as the mother is able and has milk whichcould be as long as two years
How to Give Complementary Foods for Babies 6-11 Months Old? Prepare mixture of thick lugaw/ cooked rice, soft cooked vegetables. Egg yolk, mashed
beans, flaked fish/chicken/ground meat and oil.
Give mixture by teaspoons 2-4 times daily, increasing the amount of teaspoons andnumber of feeding until the full recommended amount is consumed
Give bite-sized fruit separately Give egg alone or combine with above food mixture

Vitamin C Help in the formation of protein, collagen, bone,
teeth cartilage, skin and scar tissue; facilitate in
the absorption of iron from the gastrointestinal
tract; involve in amino acid metabolism; increase
resistance to infection, prevent scurvy.
Food sources:
Guava; pomelo; lemon; orange; calamansi;
tomato; cashew
Vitamin D Help in the mineralization of bones by enhancing
absorption of calcium
Vitamin E Strong anti-oxidant; help prevent arteriosclerosis;
protect neuro-muscular system; important for
normal immune function.Vitamin K Involve in the synthesis of blood clotting proteins
and a bone protein that regulates blood calcium
level.
MINERALS FUNCTIONS
Calcium Mineralization of bones and teeth, regulator of
many of the bodys biochemical processes,
involve in blood clotting, muscle contraction and
relaxation, nerve functioning, blood pressure and
immune defenses.
Chloride Maintain normal fluid and electrolyte balance.
Chromium Work with insulin and is required for release ofenergy from glucose.
Copper Necessary for absorption and use of iron in the
formation of hemoglobin.
Fluoride Involve in the formation of bones and teeth;
prevents tooth decay.

shrimp; mussels; snails; dried dilis; fish
Iron Essential in the formation of blood. It is involved
in the transport and storage of oxygen in the
blood and is a co-factor bound to several non-
hemo enzymes required for the proper
functioning of cells.
Food sources:
Pork; beef; chicken; liver and other internal
organs; dried dilis; shrimp; eggs; pechay; saluyot;
alugbati
Magnesium Mineralization of bones and teeth, building of
proteins, normal muscle contraction, nerve
impulse transmission, maintenance of teeth andfunctioning of immune system.
Manganese Facilitate many cell processes.
Molybdenum Facilitate many cell processes.
Phosphorus Mineralization of bones and teeth; part of every
Cell; used in energy transfer and maintenance of
acid-base balance.

from oxidation.
Selenium Work with vitamin E to protect body compound
from oxidation.
Sodium Maintain normal fluid and electrolyte balance,assists nerve impulse insulin.
Sulfur Integral part of vitamins, biotin and thiamine as
well as the hormone.
Zinc Essential for normal growth, development
reproduction and immunity.
