For the treatment of acute gastroenteritis, try this measure, it is very effective

The pace of modern life is extremely fast, and the work intensity is high and the working hours are long. As a result, many people not only have irregular sleep patterns, but also become more casual in their diet. When people are busy, they order takeout, or even skip meals when they are too busy. This eating habit seriously affects people's nutritional intake. At the same time, it also causes people to suffer from common diseases such as acute gastroenteritis. These methods can be tried to treat acute gastroenteritis.

Causes of acute gastroenteritis:

1. Infection by bacteria and toxins

The most common infections are Salmonella and halophilic bacteria (Vibrio parahaemolyticus), the most common toxin is Staphylococcus aureus, and viruses can also be seen. There are often cases of collective outbreaks or multiple outbreaks in families. The disease can be caused by eating contaminated poultry, livestock meat, or fish; eating seafood such as crabs and snails where halophilic bacteria grow; or eating leftovers or rice contaminated by Staphylococcus aureus.

2. Physical and chemical factors

Eating raw or cold food or certain medicines such as salicylates, sulfonamides, certain antibiotics, etc.; or accidentally ingesting strong acids, strong alkalis and pesticides can all cause this disease.

Treatment

1. General treatment

Rest in bed as much as possible. If the condition is mild, take glucose-electrolyte solution orally to replenish the loss of body fluids. If vomiting persists or dehydration is obvious, intravenous supplementation of 5%-10% glucose saline and other relevant electrolytes is required. Encourage intake of light liquids or semi-liquid foods to prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration.

2. Symptomatic treatment

If necessary, antiemetics and antispasmodics can be injected, such as belladonna, 3 times a day. Antidiarrheal drugs: such as Smecta, 2 to 3 times a day.

3. Antimicrobial treatment

The role of antibiotics in the treatment of this disease is controversial. For infectious diarrhea, targeted antibiotics can be appropriately selected. But abuse should be prevented.
