What to do if you vomit or have diarrhea in the middle of the night

Nowadays, most industries operate normally during the day, and almost all of them close at night for rest, after all, they have worked all day. However, sometimes some emergency situations occur at night, especially in the middle of the night, then it is definitely not as convenient as during the day, and it is impossible to send it for diagnosis immediately. For example, if you vomit or have diarrhea in the middle of the night, if you want to find out the reason and want to get treatment, it might be a bit troublesome. So how do we deal with this problem? Let’s learn more about it.

Vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night can be mild or severe. If the condition is relatively mild, you can drink more salt water to make your body feel more comfortable. Drinking more salt water can also help replenish the body's water. Generally, vomiting and diarrhea are caused by gastrointestinal discomfort. At this time, you can drink some medicine to help treat the stomach or medicine that can help digestion so that the food can be digested. Most of the time, it is because you ate too much at dinner or ate food that is difficult to digest.

If you experience vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night, you can take some digestive medicines, such as digestive tablets and lactobacillus tablets, which can help us relieve the symptoms. It is very likely that the vomiting and diarrhea are caused by indigestion. It is better to take some medicine first and then go to the hospital for examination the next day.

If you have severe vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night and your stomach hurts a lot, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. There is an emergency room at night, and you can go to the emergency room to get some medicine. After taking it, the symptoms will be relieved a lot. So if you have severe vomiting and diarrhea, it is best not to delay treatment for too long.

Of course, some people suffer from severe vomiting and diarrhea, and taking medicine or using the above methods are ineffective. It is best to seek timely treatment. Some places have night emergency rooms. It is best to send them to the emergency room for treatment as soon as possible, or go to the hospital. Do not delay too long, as it is also very bad for your health.

Through what we have said today, we know how to deal with vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night, but in this case we need to know what caused it, whether it is indigestion or food poisoning. Go to the hospital promptly if necessary

Diarrhea Relief:

Drink plenty of water - Diarrhea patients suffer from severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance due to large amounts of bowel movements, so they must replenish a lot of water. Rehydration salts containing sodium chloride, potassium chloride, glucose and sodium citrate are ideal choices because they can replenish glucose and minerals lost in the body, and regulate potassium, sodium electrolytes, water and acid-base balance; carrot juice, apple juice, watermelon juice, etc. can not only replenish water, but also replenish essential vitamins, and are also good supplements. They are all good ways to prevent dehydration and collapse from diarrhea.

Do not rush to take medicine - unless the diarrhea is caused by a viral or bacterial infection, or severe diarrhea causes complications, common diarrhea does not require medication and its symptoms generally do not exceed 48 hours. Therefore, do not use medication to stop diarrhea for at least two days, because diarrhea is the body's way of eliminating toxins. When patients have acute diarrhea, the use of antidiarrheals is discouraged unless there is another urgent need to control the condition. Otherwise, letting it drain out may be beneficial and speed up recovery.

Check your medications – Diarrhea can sometimes be related to medications you take, such as antacids for heartburn. Antacids are the drugs most commonly associated with diarrhea. To avoid diarrhea associated with heartburn, antacids containing only aluminum hydroxide are recommended. In addition to antacids, antibiotics, quinidine, colchicine (anti-gout drugs) and other drugs may also cause diarrhea. If you suspect these or other medicines are causing your diarrhea, talk with your doctor.
