“There are bugs in bayberry,

children Will it be bad for the body to eat?”

“Eating bayberry is too angry, can the child not eat it?”

“The fruit acid in bayberry will corrode the child’s teeth. “

About the above doubts, Zhang Yanhua, deputy director of the Department of Pediatrics of Zhengzhou Central Hospital, pointed out that bayberry is rich in nutrients and is considered to be “agate in fruit”, and children eat bayberry There are many benefits. It can not only appetize and strengthen the spleen, promote body fluid and quench thirst, relieve summer heat and relieve vexation, but also improve appetite, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antidiarrheal.

However, it should be noted that eating bayberry should be “special”, how to eat it? How much to eat? When can’t you eat?

Zhang Yanhua said that there was an 8-year-old child (Tao Tao) in the outpatient clinic who was severely punished for eating a few spoiled bayberry.

Some time ago, Taotao’s father received a box of bayberry from a friend. At the beginning, bayberry was relatively fresh and had a sweet and sour taste. Taotao had to eat a dozen or so every day. particles. On the fifth day, Taotao’s mother smelled the bayberry in the refrigerator, which seemed strange, but the bayberry itself smelled a little sour, and Taotao’s mother didn’t care too much. After lunch, Taotao’s mother washed half a bowl of bayberry for her child like a few days ago…

In the afternoon, Taotao developed abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. He immediately took the child to a clinic near his home for treatment. After the infusion, the child went home without serious injury.

That night, Taotao suddenly had high fever, chills, and symptoms of frequent vomiting. After going to the hospital, the blood routine leukocyte was 30,000, and the infection index was very high. Finally, Taotao was diagnosed as sepsis. After two antibiotics combined treatment, Taotao recovered and was discharged after 2 weeks.

Zhang Yanhua said that sepsis refers to a syndrome of systemic inflammatory response caused by severe infection leading to disordered response. It is a severe infection syndrome with a high mortality rate. Mainly manifested as chills, fever, palpitation, shortness of breath, and mental state changes. If left untreated, severe sepsis and septic shock can develop, leading to multiple organ failure.

Can the bugs in bayberry be eaten?

Zhang Yanhua reminded that bayberry is easy to deteriorate when placed at room temperature. Once bayberry is found to be moldy, sticky and soft, it must be handled in time and never eaten.

In addition, many parents will worry that there will be some “little white worms” in some bayberry, will the child eat it will affect the body?

Actually, the “little white worms” in bayberry are the larvae of fruit flies. It is normal to exist in bayberry. Don’t worry, because almost all bayberry will have such bugs.

If it is a white fruit fly larvae, it mainly grows by absorbing the nutrients in bayberry. Even if it is eaten by mistake, it will not cause more harm to the body. Stomach acid “kills” them.

Zhang Yanhua said that parents must pay attention to cleaning before children eat bayberry. In addition to the “little white bugs” commonly found in bayberry, there may also be some other bugs that get into bayberry. In this case, they cannot be eaten. “These bugs may carry microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, and children may experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea after eating.”

How to clean bayberry?

Zhang Yanhua suggested that before eating bayberry, soak it in salt water for about 10 minutes, and the white fruit fly larvae will “run” out.

Although bayberry is good, don’t be gluttonous

bayberry is rich in organic acids and citric acid, and children who take too much will cause excessive gastric acid secretion. The gastric mucosa damages gastric ulcers, causing gastrointestinal symptoms such as acid regurgitation, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Zhang Yanhua said that children should try not to eat bayberry on an empty stomach, and people with weak gastrointestinal function should not eat too much.

“Don’t let children eat bayberry before going to bed. If you eat it, you must rinse your mouth and brush your teeth after eating.” Zhang Yanhua said that because bayberry contains glucose and fructose, it is easy to correct without rinsing and brushing your teeth after eating. Damage to the child’s teeth.

Zhang Yanhua suggested that children generally have 4-6 bayberries a day, preferably no more than 10. (Source: Henan Business Daily)
