After botulism food poisoning, nausea, vomiting and central nervous system symptoms such as paralysis of eye and pharyngeal muscles are the main manifestations clinically. After botulism food poisoning, it is necessary to induce vomiting in time, give sedatives appropriately, or carry out gastric lavage and enema for treatment.
1. Prompt vomiting: Prompt vomiting is necessary in botulism food poisoning, so that the poison in the stomach is discharged, the tongue depressor can be used to press the tongue, and then use a cotton swab to stimulate the throat, so that the patient will have a vomit reflex, vomit out the food and water in the stomach.
2. Appropriate sedative: the reaction of poisoning can inhibit the release of neurotransmitter acetylcholine, thus leading to muscle contraction disorders and paralysis of eye and pharyngeal muscles and other symptoms. At this time, bed rest should be strictly, and appropriate sedatives should be given to avoid the aggravation of paralytic symptoms.
3. Gastric lavage and enema: 5% sodium bicarbonate or 1:4000 potassium permanganate solution can be used for gastric lavage and enema within 4h after eating, so as to flush out the gastrointestinal contents and remove the toxin completely.
In addition, in case of respiratory distress and other emergencies, tracheotomy should be performed immediately to relieve the respiratory distress caused by laryngeal muscle paralysis. For patients with botulism food poisoning, it is important to go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive professional treatment in order to increase the cure rate and minimize the occurrence of after-effects.
