​What medicine is the best for dysentery

Now with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people are prone to dysentery, because most of them, especially office workers, choose to order takeout to solve their three meals a day problem due to time constraints. These takeout restaurants are not hygienic and the ingredients they choose are not fresh, which leads to the breeding of many bacteria. People are prone to dysentery after eating them. If you get dysentery, what medicine is the most effective?

The first choice is berberine tablets (less irritation, less side effects); the diet should be mainly liquid or semi-liquid; drink more light salt water and fruit juice; for auxiliary treatment, you can eat some garlic during meals.

Use intravenous injection of gentamicin or amikacin and ampicillin, with the same dosage and usage as in the acute phase. After the symptoms of poisoning improve, treat as general acute bacillary dysentery or use trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (SMZ-TMP) or norfloxacin orally.

General treatment and symptomatic treatment: Rest in bed, and generally eat liquid or semi-liquid food. Avoid eating food with a lot of residue, oil or irritating food. During the recovery period, you can gradually resume normal diet according to the specific situation. Those who are dehydrated can be given oral rehydration salts. If vomiting occurs and the patient cannot take water orally, normal saline or 5% glucose saline can be given intravenously. The injection amount depends on the degree of water loss to maintain water and electrolyte balance.

1. Identify patients and carriers promptly, isolate them effectively and provide thorough treatment until stool culture is negative. Focus on monitoring people working in the catering industry, childcare and water plants. Those infected should be isolated immediately and given thorough treatment. Chronic patients and carriers are not allowed to work in the above-mentioned industries.

2. Maintain good environmental hygiene, strengthen toilet and feces management, eliminate fly breeding grounds, strengthen food hygiene and water source management, and especially carry out hygiene supervision and inspection of individuals and food vendors.

3. The stool of cooks and childcare workers in collective units and childcare institutions should be checked regularly and bacterial culture should be performed. Strengthen health education, and everyone should wash hands before meals and after defecation, not drink raw water, not eat spoiled and rotten food, and not overeat, so as not to reduce gastrointestinal resistance.
