Viral gastroenteritis is no small matter, timely treatment is crucial!

People often feel nauseous and retching in life, and then they check on the Internet and judge that they have acute gastritis. However, this is a very rash approach, because there are many types of gastritis, and it is not so easy to diagnose which type of gastritis it is. The symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are summarized as diarrhea that is often watery, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and headache, abdominal pain (mostly colic) and fever. However, gastrointestinal discomfort caused by bacterial infection (such as Escherichia coli) or parasitic infection may also cause the above symptoms, so it cannot be easily judged and medical treatment should be sought in time to prevent the disease from becoming more serious.

Well, today let’s talk about the symptoms of viral enteritis and how to deal with it after treatment.

1. Symptoms

In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, systemic symptoms may last for 12 days, but diarrhea may last up to 10 days.

At the same time, for most people, viral gastroenteritis is not a serious disease. Even if it is not treated, it will heal on its own and will not have long-term sequelae. However, during the period of acute gastroenteritis, patients may suffer from dehydration or electrolyte imbalance due to severe watery diarrhea and vomiting. This situation may have serious consequences, especially for infants and young children; immunocompromised patients may also develop more serious diseases.

2. Treatment

1. There is no specific drug for the treatment of viral enteritis, and the main treatment is symptomatic treatment. After the onset of the disease, you should temporarily stop consuming foods such as sugars and disaccharides. If the vomiting and diarrhea are severe, you need to immediately use antiemetics and sedatives to control the symptoms.

2. Since viral enteritis can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea, it is necessary to maintain the body's water and electrolyte balance during treatment. The water and electrolyte balance can be maintained by replenishing body fluids orally or intravenously. Sulfonamide antibiotics have a good anti-inflammatory effect on viral enteritis.

3. In fact, most of the drugs used to treat viral enteritis are common drugs, such as metronidazole and hormone drugs, such as dexamethasone, prednisone, etc. These drugs can fight against many bacterial infections and have a good anti-inflammatory effect, so they are often used in treatment.

When viral enteritis occurs, Chinese medicine can also be used to treat it. Chinese medicine treatment first clears out toxins in the intestines, then strengthens the intestine's own immune ability, and finally prevents the recurrence of the disease through whole-body regulation.

(III) Conditioning and prevention

1. To prevent viral gastroenteritis, you must have a reasonable eating habit. In daily life, you must not smoke or drink, eat spicy food, eat junk food on the roadside, eat too salty food, or eat too greasy food. Your diet must be light.

2. To prevent viral gastroenteritis, you need to do proper exercise. In daily life, we must participate in more outdoor activities and do more physical exercise. This can strengthen our physical fitness, enhance our immune resistance, avoid the occurrence of various diseases, and relax our body and mind.

3. To prevent viral gastroenteritis, you need to develop a good mood. In daily life, we must learn to relax ourselves and have a positive and optimistic attitude to face life and work. Don't be too nervous, because these negative emotions can cause considerable harm to various organs of the body.

In daily life, everyone must always pay attention to their physical health. If there are some abnormalities in the body, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Do not delay the best treatment time, otherwise it will cause more serious diseases.
