In this era of high incidence of enteritis and stomach diseases, it has brought many unnecessary troubles to people's normal diet and life. Enteritis is mainly caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, etc. It can be divided into acute and chronic types. Today, I will introduce to you the causes of enteritis and several treatment methods.
Pathogenic factors of enteritis
1、 Viral enteritis. Enteritis commonly caused by canine distemper virus, canine parvovirus, canine and feline coronavirus, etc. is called viral enteritis. Among them, rotavirus is the main cause of persistent diarrhea in infants and young children, while the virus that causes epidemic gastroenteritis in adults is Norwalk virus.
2、 Bacterial enteritis. Enteritis usually caused by Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter jejuni, etc. is called bacterial enteritis, among which Shigella is the most common.
3、 Parasitic enteritis. Enteritis caused by flagellates, coccidiosis, Toxoplasma gondii, and hookworms is generally referred to as parasitic enteritis, and this type of enteritis is most commonly caused by Entamoeba histolytica.
Treatment methods for enteritis
By supplementing fluids and correcting electrolyte and acidosis in the body, patients with enteritis who experience mild dehydration due to vomiting can take oral rehydration solutions such as sodium chloride, glucose, or sucrose with water to relieve symptoms; Patients with severe dehydration should supplement the lost water in the body by intravenous injection of physiological saline. The medication treatment method for reducing intestinal peristalsis and gastric acid secretion can be achieved by taking small amounts of atropine and belladonna to reduce intestinal peristalsis, which can alleviate abdominal pain and diarrhea. After promoting the restoration of intestinal microbiota, the number of harmful bacteria is controlled within a very small range, the toxins produced are reduced or eliminated, Helicobacter pylori loses the basis for growth and reproduction, the gastric mucosa is nourished and repaired, inflammation is reduced or eliminated, thereby promoting the gradual recovery of intestinal inflammation.
