​What causes dysentery

If you do not pay attention to personal and public hygiene in your daily life, and do not pay attention to your diet, and often eat raw, cold, and uncooked food, you are very likely to suffer from dysentery, which can cause a series of troubles. Dysentery is mainly spread through contaminated hands. After suffering from dysentery, you should pay attention to food hygiene, do not drink raw water, do not eat unclean fruits and vegetables, do not eat spoiled food, maintain a proper balance between hunger and fullness, do not drink alcohol, etc.

Daily contact is the main route of transmission for sporadic cases during the non-epidemic season. Tables, chairs, toys, door handles, bus handrails, etc. can be contaminated with Shigella dysenteriae. If you touch the above contaminated items with your hands, you will be infected with the bacteria. If you grab food immediately, or if children have the habit of sucking their fingers, the bacteria will be sent into their mouths and cause illness.

Transmission by flies: Flies have the habit of eating both feces and food, which can easily cause food contamination. It has been observed in many areas that the prevalence of dysentery coincides with the period of fly extinction. When suffering from dysentery, the first choice of medication should be berberine tablets or gentamicin tablets (less irritation and 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.

The clinical features of dysentery are fever (body temperature is generally between 38 and 39°C), abdominal pain, diarrhea, initial mushy or watery stools that gradually turn into mucus or bloody stools, tenesmus and abdominal tenderness. The clinical manifestations vary in severity and can be divided into two stages: acute and chronic according to the course of the disease. Based on your description, it is considered a manifestation of enteritis. The specific type of enteritis should be identified as soon as possible and treated symptomatically. It is best not to take medication at will to avoid delaying treatment and worsening the condition. It is best to receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor to achieve the best treatment effect.

Note: 1. Eat less fried food to avoid increasing the burden on the digestive tract and causing indigestion. 2. Eat less pickled food. 3. Eat less raw, cold and irritating food: Raw, cold and irritating food has a strong irritating effect on the digestive tract mucosa, and can easily cause diarrhea or digestive tract inflammation. It is recommended to eat easily digestible liquid food and a light diet.
