Dec 31,2024

The seasons of spring, summer, and autumn are all high-risk periods for gastroenteritis. Sudden onset of gastroenteritis can often be very uncomfortable and accompanied by symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain. Sometimes, when we get sick, we don't even know that we have gastroenteritis. Do you know what to do if we have gastroenteritis? Follow the editor to read down together.

Generally speaking, diarrhea caused by acute gastroenteritis, as long as it does not exceed ten times a day, is considered mild diarrhea. If it has been more than ten times and there is still occasional fever, unclear consciousness, or even coma, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in a timely manner. Acute gastroenteritis can easily lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, especially when we experience diarrhea. This is likely to cause electrolyte imbalance, so even in cases of severe diarrhea, we should drink plenty of water. Here is a tip from the editor: water is not just plain water, but also a supplement to glucose. We can choose oral solutions to replenish the electrolytes lost in our body. If you only drink plain water blindly, it may not only have no effect, but also cause water poisoning. At the same time, don't eat too much food or supplement nutrition excessively during recovery. Try to avoid burdening the stomach and intestines. Drink more Congee and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Diarrhea is caused by multiple factors, including infectious (mainly bacteria and viruses) and non infectious types. Non viral diarrhea is generally caused by poor gastrointestinal function, indigestion, and a cold stomach. The most fundamental cause of diarrhea is the imbalance of the gut microbiota. You can take Zang Ling Shui Su Tang. It has no toxic side effects on the human body and is not broken down by digestive enzymes in the body. It can directly reach the intestines, promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and has a good effect on diarrhea. At the same time, pay more attention to your diet structure and eat less raw, cold, spicy and other stimulating foods. Gradually, you will get better.
