Don't forget to moisturize properly.
The most important role in the treatment of infectious diseases of the digestive system is proper hydration. This is usually an oral drink at the patient's home.
It should be remembered that in case of severe vomiting or diarrhea, it is important not only to replenish lost water, but also to monitor electrolytes. Instead of regular water, it is better to use special irrigation fluids designed for this purpose, available at the pharmacy. The disadvantage of these liquids is that they are not very tasty and, therefore, can increase the gag reflex.
In cases where the gastrointestinal symptoms are not very serious, you can limit yourself to drinking regular non-carbonated water or thin tea. Avoid coffee and carbonated drinks, as they not only irritate the digestive system, but also contribute to a greater loss of electrolyte.
However, if oral irrigation does not help, when the patient is severely dehydrated, in an elderly or small child, or if the patient's general condition is serious, irrigation in the form of a drip may be required.
What to eat for diarrhea and vomiting?
A sick person usually does not want to eat. During the first 3-4 hours of diarrhea, oral products should not be given, the patient should be limited to hydration.
Later, use an easy-to-digest diet. It is recommended to eat more often, but with less volume. You can return to your usual diet when the consistency of the stool is back to normal.
In case of vomiting, food should be given even more carefully. It is better to start with more liquid foods such as soup or jelly. Usually, however, you have to wait for the intense vomiting phase because it still doesn't make sense.
Medications for diarrhea.
In adults with intense diarrhea, medications for peristalsis such as loperamide may be considered. This medicine can be used in patients who do not have fever, blood, or pus in their feces. It is effective and relatively safe.
Treatment begins with two tablets, followed by one tablet after each diarrhea. Loperamide should also not be used for chronic diarrhea.
When vomiting due to a gastrointestinal infection, antiemetics are unlikely. If vomiting is very persistent, you should consult a doctor who may decide to give you this medicine. In case of very severe cramping abdominal pain associated with diarrhea or vomiting, the patient may receive diastolic medicine, for example, without spa.
An antibiotic for gastrointestinal infection?
Sometimes, when treating a gastrointestinal infection, symptomatic treatment is not enough, and it is necessary to address the cause, that is, to give an antibiotic to fight the bacterial infection. The test should always be performed before the antibiotic is administered.
