Diarrhoea Creole(French)

===1. Diarrhoea is a very dangerous illness that kills many children each year. In this lesson we will see why diarrhoea is so dangerous and how you can help to prevent and treat it.===
[translation needed here]
===2. Faeces are normally solid. Diarrhoea is when the faeces are watery, rather than solid.===
[translation needed here]
===3. Your child has diarrhoea if he or she passes watery faeces several times a day. The more frequent the watery faeces, the more dangerous the diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===4. Now here's a question for you:===
[translation needed here]
===5. How do you know when your child has diarrhoea?===
[translation needed here]
===6. Because your child is not eating,===
[translation needed here]
===7. Or because your child is passing watery faeces several times a day?===
[translation needed here]
===8. Press a button now.===
[translation needed here]
===9. Yes, that’s the right answer. You know that your child has diarrhoea when she is passing watery faeces several times a day.===
[translation needed here]
===10. If your child has diarrhoea their faeces will be very watery, which means that a lot of water is leaving their body. This is very dangerous because your child’s body will not have enough water inside it.===
[translation needed here]
===11. Our bodies need lots of water to work properly and keep us alive. If your child’s body does not have enough water inside, it is very dangerous and the child can die.===
[translation needed here]
===12. When young children and babies get diarrhoea, they lose water very quickly. Adults also get diarrhoea, but they don’t lose water as quickly, so it is not as dangerous.===
[translation needed here]
===13. Now some questions for you:===
[translation needed here]
===14. Why is diarrhoea so dangerous?===
[translation needed here]
===15. Because your child’s body loses a lot of water?===
[translation needed here]
===16. or because your child does not feel very well?===
[translation needed here]
===17. Press a button now.===
[translation needed here]
===18. You are correct! Diarrhoea is very dangerous because your child’s body loses a lot of water very quickly. This can cause the child to die.===
[translation needed here]
===19. Why is it even more dangerous for young children and babies to get diarrhoea than for adults?===
[translation needed here]
===20. Because young children and babies with diarrhoea lose water much quicker than adults?===
[translation needed here]
===21. Or because it means they become very hungry?===
[translation needed here]
===22. Press a button now.===
[translation needed here]
===23. Yes! It is dangerous for young children and babies to get diarrhoea because they lose water very quickly; much more quickly than adults.===
[translation needed here]
===24. Now let’s see how diarrhoea is caused and what you can do to prevent it.===
[translation needed here]
===25. Diarrhoea is caused by germs which are swallowed. You cannot see these germs because they are so small.===
[translation needed here]
===26. Germs can be spread in many ways, for example through the air when someone coughs or from eating old, dirty or bad food. Many people get diarrhoea from germs found in human or animal faeces.===
[translation needed here]
===27. Germs can easily be spread from faeces onto hands and then from hands to drinking water or food.===
[translation needed here]
===28. Once germs are on food or in drinking water it is very easy for you or your children to swallow them and get diarrhoea. Remember: germs are so small you cannot see them.===
[translation needed here]
===29. What causes diarrhoea?===
[translation needed here]
===30. Mosquitos,===
[translation needed here]
===31. Or germs which are swallowed?===
[translation needed here]
===32. That’s right! Diarrhoea is caused by germs which are swallowed. The germs are so small you cannot see them.===
[translation needed here]
===33. Where do many germs come from?===
[translation needed here]
===34. From human and animal faeces,===
[translation needed here]
===35. Or from the witch doctor?===
[translation needed here]
===36. Yes, many germs come from human and animal faeces.===
[translation needed here]
===37. To help prevent diarrhoea, you should put human faeces into a latrine or bury it in the ground.===
[translation needed here]
===38. Animal faeces should be kept away from houses, water sources and places where children play. ===
[translation needed here]
===39. Wash your hands with clean water and soap after contact with faeces, and before touching food or feeding children. Using soap is the best way to remove germs from your hands.===
[translation needed here]
===40. Encourage your children to regularly wash their hands with soap and water, too. This will help to prevent the spread of germs that can cause diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===41. Where should you put human faeces?===
[translation needed here]
===42. Leave it on the floor,===
[translation needed here]
===43. Or put it in a latrine?===
[translation needed here]
===44. You are right! Human faeces should be put in a latrine or buried in the ground.===
[translation needed here]
===45. What should everyone in your home do regularly to help prevent diarrhoea?===
[translation needed here]
===46. Wash their hands with soap and water,===
[translation needed here]
===47. Or wash their face?===
[translation needed here]
===48. Yes! To help prevent diarrhoea, everyone should wash their hands with soap and water, especially after using the latrine and before touching food.===
[translation needed here]
===49. Now let’s look at what you should do if your child has diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===50. Some people think that drinking liquids makes diarrhoea worse. THIS IS NOT TRUE.===
[translation needed here]
===51. If your child has diarrhoea you should give the child liquids to drink as often as possible until the diarrhoea stops. ===
[translation needed here]
===52. Drinking lots of liquids helps to replace the water lost from the body due to diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===53. Should a child with diarrhoea be given ...===
[translation needed here]
===54. plenty to drink,===
[translation needed here]
===55. or very little to drink?===
[translation needed here]
===56. Yes, that’s right. If your child has diarrhoea it is important to give her extra liquids.===
[translation needed here]
===57. Breast milk is the best source of liquid and food for a young child with diarrhoea. ===
[translation needed here]
===58. Breast milk is nutritious and clean. It also helps stop illness. A baby who is fed only breast milk is less likely to get diarrhoea. ===
[translation needed here]
===59. If your child has diarrhoea you should breastfeed more often than usual. This will help to prevent dehydration and malnutrition, as well as helping to replace lost liquids.===
[translation needed here]
===60. If your baby or young child has diarrhoea is it best to give them:===
[translation needed here]
===61. Breast milk,===
[translation needed here]
===62. Or something else?===
[translation needed here]
===63. That’s right. Breast milk is the best source of liquid and food for a young child with diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===64. If your child has diarrhoea should you breast feed....===
[translation needed here]
===65. More often than usual,===
[translation needed here]
===66. Or less often than usual?===
[translation needed here]
===67. Yes. If your child has diarrhoea you should breast feed more often than usual.===
[translation needed here]
===68. If your child is older and not being breast fed, you should give the child soup, fresh fruit juice, weak tea with a little sugar, or clean water.===
[translation needed here]
===69. If there is a possibility the water is not clean, you should make it safe by boiling it. The boiled water should then be cooled before your child drinks it.===
[translation needed here]
===70. You should give your child drinks from a clean cup. ===
[translation needed here]
===71. You should not use a feeding bottle. It is difficult to clean bottles completely and unclean bottles can cause diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===72. Which of these is a good drink for an older child with diarrhoea?===
[translation needed here]
===73. Very strong tea,===
[translation needed here]
===74. Or weak tea with a little sugar?===
[translation needed here]
===75. Yes, weak tea with a little added sugar is a good drink for an older child with diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===76. What should you use when giving drinks to your child?===
[translation needed here]
===77. A clean cup,===
[translation needed here]
===78. Or a bottle?===
[translation needed here]
===79. Yes, that’s right. It is difficult to make sure that a bottle is completely clean, so it’s better to always use a clean cup. ===
[translation needed here]
===80. If your child has diarrhoea she will lose weight and can quickly become malnourished. Your child will need plenty of food and liquids. ===
[translation needed here]
===81. Food can help stop the diarrhoea and will help your child recover more quickly.===
[translation needed here]
===82. A child with diarrhoea may not want to eat or may vomit, so feeding can be difficult.===
[translation needed here]
===83. You should encourage your child to eat as often as possible, with small amounts of soft, mashed foods or foods your child likes. Soft foods are easier to eat and contain more liquids than hard foods.===
[translation needed here]
===84. If your child has diarrhoea, should you …===
[translation needed here]
===85. Avoid giving the child food,===
[translation needed here]
===86. Or encourage the child to eat small amounts of soft foods?===
[translation needed here]
===87. Yes. Regularly eating small amounts of soft foods will replace some of the lost liquids, and can help to stop the diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===88. You can also make up a special mixture to feed to your child. This special rehydration mixture is very good for curing diarrhoea and is very easy to make at home. ===
[translation needed here]
===89. You make up this mixture with the correct amounts of water, sugar and salt.===
[translation needed here]
===90. What do you add to water to make the special mixture to cure diarrhoea?===
[translation needed here]
===91. Sugar and salt,===
[translation needed here]
===92. Or oil?===
[translation needed here]
===93. That’s correct. To make a special mixture to help cure your child’s diarrhoea you add correct amounts of sugar and salt to water.===
[translation needed here]
===94. Here's how to make the rehydration mixture: First take five cups of clean water. If you are not sure your water is from a safe source, such as a pipe or pump, boil it first. Then allow it to cool before using it.===
[translation needed here]
===95. Into the five cups of clean water put one big pinch of salt using three fingers.===
[translation needed here]
===96. Then add one big handful of sugar.===
[translation needed here]
===97. You should thoroughly stir this mixture until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Now that you have made the special mixture, you are ready to feed it to your child.===
[translation needed here]
===98. What should you do if you are not sure your water is safe to drink?===
[translation needed here]
===99. Boil the water first, then let it cool,===
[translation needed here]
===100. Or use less water for the mixture?===
[translation needed here]
===101. Yes, that’s right. If your water is not from a safe source, boil the water first and then let it cool before using it. ===
[translation needed here]
===102. When making the rehydration mixture, how much salt should you add to the 5 cups of drinking water?===
[translation needed here]
===103. A pinch of salt,===
[translation needed here]
===104. Or a handful of salt?===
[translation needed here]
===105. Correct. You should add a pinch of salt using three fingers.===
[translation needed here]
===106. When making the rehydration mixture, how much sugar should you add to the 5 cups of drinking water?===
[translation needed here]
===107. A pinch of sugar,===
[translation needed here]
===108. Or a handful of sugar?===
[translation needed here]
===109. That's right. You should add a large handful of sugar to the mixture.===
[translation needed here]
===110. You should feed the rehydration mixture to your child slowly using a clean spoon or cup.===
[translation needed here]
===111. If your child is under the age of two you should feed her half a cup of this mixture each time she passes watery faeces. ===
[translation needed here]
===112. If your child is older, feed her a whole cup of the mixture each time she passes watery faeces.===
[translation needed here]
===113. How should you feed the rehydration mixture to your child?===
[translation needed here]
===114. Very quickly,===
[translation needed here]
===115. Or slowly?===
[translation needed here]
===116. Yes, you should feed this mixture to your child slowly from a clean spoon or cup.===
[translation needed here]
===117. How much of the rehydration mixture should you feed your child?===
[translation needed here]
===118. All the mixture you have made,===
[translation needed here]
===119. Or half to a whole cup of the mixture each time they pass watery faeces?===
[translation needed here]
===120. Correct. Each time they pass watery faeces, you should feed half a cup of the mixture to children under two and a whole cup of mixture to older children.===
[translation needed here]
===121. If your child vomits after drinking this rehydration mixture, wait a few minutes then give the child some more of the mixture.===
[translation needed here]
===122. You should continue feeding the mixture to your child until the diarrhoea stops. This will usually take between 3-5 days.===
[translation needed here]
===123. What should you do if your child vomits after drinking the rehydration mixture?===
[translation needed here]
===124. Wait a few minutes then try giving your child some more,===
[translation needed here]
===125. Or don’t give any more of the mixture to the child?===
[translation needed here]
===126. You are right. If your child vomits after drinking the rehydration mixture, you should wait a few minutes, and then try giving the child some more.===
[translation needed here]
===127. How long should you continue feeding the rehydration mixture to your child?===
[translation needed here]
===128. For 2 weeks,===
[translation needed here]
===129. Or until the diarrhoea stops?===
[translation needed here]
===130. Yes! You should continue feeding the mixture to your child until the diarrhoea stops. This will usually take between 3-5 days.===
[translation needed here]
===131. Your child’s life is in danger if she passes several watery faeces within an hour or if there is blood in the faeces. Another danger sign is if your child has had diarrhoea for more than one week. ===
[translation needed here]
===132. In these situations you should take your child to the health clinic for treatment as soon as possible. In the meantime, continue to give your child plenty of liquids to help replace the liquid lost due to the diarrhoea.===
[translation needed here]
===133. What should you do if your child is passing several watery faeces within an hour or if there is blood in the faeces?===
[translation needed here]
===134. Do nothing and wait for the diarrhoea to stop,===
[translation needed here]
===135. Or take the child to a health clinic or hospital?===
[translation needed here]
===136. Yes, that’s right. Take your child to a health clinic or hospital as soon as possible and, in the meantime, continue to give the child plenty of liquids.===
[translation needed here]
===137. If your child’s diarrhoea has not stopped after one week, what should you do?===
[translation needed here]
===138. Take them to a health clinic or hospital,===
[translation needed here]
===139. Or wait a few more days to see if the diarrhoea stops?===
[translation needed here]
===140. That’s right. If your child’s diarrhoea has not stopped after one week, you should take them to a health clinic or hospital for treatment.===
[translation needed here]
===141. You have learnt that diarrhoea can be very dangerous, especially for children.===
[translation needed here]
===142. If your child has diarrhoea encourage her to drink plenty of liquids such as breast milk, clean water and rehydration mixture.===
[translation needed here]
===143. You can easily make the rehydration mixture yourself using 5 cups of clean water, a pinch of salt and a handful of sugar.===
[translation needed here]
===144. Remember: If the diarrhoea is very severe, has blood in it or lasts for more than a week you should take your child to the local health centre. This could save your child's life.===
[translation needed here]
