Five principles of medication for summer diarrhea

With the arrival of summer, diarrhea has become a secret problem for many people, and how to use medication correctly has become a difficult problem. The cause of the disease should be determined before taking the medicine. If it is caused by a virus, it is usually a self-limiting disease. Antibiotics must not be abused to avoid intestinal flora disorders and persistent diarrhea. How should we choose diarrhea drugs according to our own characteristics?

Rotavirus enteritis is treated with oral dipyridamole or intravenous ribavirin, and antibiotics are generally not used.

For bacterial enteritis, oral administration of zymoxetine and clomiphene citrate can be used.

For bacterial enteritis, use 1 to 2 antibiotics, such as gentamicin, fluazifop, ampicillin, and penicillin II. Fluoxetine should be used with caution in children.

Patients with prolonged diarrhea and weak constitution should be given supportive therapy, including albumin or plasma infusion.

If convulsions occur due to low calcium, calcium supplements can be taken.

It should be noted that when suffering from diarrhea, many people will rush to take medicine, or even take multiple medicines at the same time. Doing so may mask the condition and affect subsequent treatment. At the same time, many antidiarrheal drugs have adsorption effects on bacteria, viruses and toxins produced by the digestive tract. These effects may also affect drugs such as antibiotics, reduce their absorption and affect their efficacy. It is recommended that patients with unclear etiology and no obvious improvement after fluid replacement and dietary adjustment should go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
