Diarrhea after 4 consecutive months of colds can be caused by a variety of pathological factors, including infectious factors, long-term use of antibiotics, dietary factors, climatic factors and so on.
1. Infectious factors: colds are often caused by viral infections such as influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, rhinovirus, adenovirus, etc. After a cold, the body’s immunity is low, and it’s easy to secondary infections of other viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites and other pathogens. The pathogens of the primary or secondary infections invade the gastrointestinal tract, and the toxins produced lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, which in turn causes diarrhea.
2. Long-term use of antibiotics: many patients with colds use antibiotics for a long time or a large number of antibiotics in order to recover as soon as possible to resist bacterial colds, or wrongly use antibiotics to resist viral colds, which leads to disorders of the body’s immune system in the case of abnormal reproduction of the bacterial flora, thus causing gastrointestinal tract dysfunction.
3. Dietary factors: not controlling the diet during the cold, consuming spicy, stimulating, raw and cold food, which makes the gastrointestinal mucosa, which already has a low barrier function, even more damaged, thus leading to abdominal pain and diarrhea.
4. Climatic factors: a sudden change in the weather from hot to cold will stimulate abnormal gastrointestinal motility and lead to diarrhea.
If the patient has severe diarrhea after 4 months of cold, he should seek medical treatment immediately to avoid delaying his condition.
