As summer arrives, more and more people are suffering from diarrhea. Although diarrhea is a common disease encountered by almost everyone, but “diarrhea is because of eating unclean things”, “diarrhea should take antidiarrheal drugs and antibiotics”, “garlic is the native penicillin “, “smelt diarrhea Huanglianxin, haloperidol is the best drug” and other misconceptions still exist in the minds of many people.
Medication reminder: anti-diarrhea drugs have different Don’t use Emmenthal when infected
When diarrhea comes, it is often accompanied by abdominal pain, so many people take the approach of stopping the pain before taking antidiarrheal drugs. However, there are many causes of abdominal pain, and taking painkillers too early can easily cover up the condition, so that acute illnesses such as appendicitis can be “hidden”, with serious consequences.
In addition, most gastrointestinal antispasmodics are mainly anticholinergics, which can further worsen the condition of elderly people with glaucoma. Therefore, it is best to seek medical attention first when acute abdominal pain occurs.
Myth 1: Flavopiridol and haloperidol are most effective in treating diarrhea
Erratum: Haloperidol damages cartilage and should be used with caution by adolescents
In clinical practice, it is commonly believed that when diarrhea occurs, taking antidiarrheal drugs such as safranin or haloperidol is sufficient. In fact, safranin and haloperidol are two different kinds of antibiotics.
Flavopiridol has an inhibitory effect on Bacillus dysenteriae and other bacteria, and has good analgesic and antidiarrheal effects, which is effective in patients with dysentery and also in diarrhea caused by amoebic protozoa. However, it can cause hemolytic anemia in those who lack glucose-6-phosphate deoxygenase in red blood cells.
Haloperidol is also a commonly used antidiarrheal agent, but tests have found that it can damage the cartilage of weight-bearing joints in a variety of young animals, so it should be used with caution in adolescents.
These two types of drugs are mainly indicated for acute diarrhea caused by bacterial infections and are not effective for viral infections.
Myth 2: Diarrhea requires antibiotics
Erratum: antibiotics are difficult to nail the virus, disorderly stop diarrhea toxin accumulation
Some people as soon as acute diarrhea occurs, can’t wait to find out the antidiarrheal drugs to take, do not know, diarrhea is the body’s physiological defense response to intestinal infections, to facilitate the discharge of bacteria and the toxins produced, take antidiarrheal drugs can temporarily stop diarrhea, but the discharge of bacteria and toxins is also reduced, but the body is not good. If the number of stools is too many, reaching more than 10 times a day, you can use antidiarrheal agents 1-2 times at your discretion.
In addition, indiscriminate use of a variety of antibiotics, and even require a large dose of antibiotic infusion, which may cause intestinal flora imbalance, or even cause mycobacterial enteritis, increasing the difficulty of treatment.
Antibiotics are not effective for viral enteritis, while for acute bacillary dysentery and bacterial food poisoning, appropriate antibiotics should be selected according to the possible pathogens. Therefore, patients should be medicated under the guidance of a doctor.
In addition, for diarrhea caused by cold, eating too much, just take some Chinese medicine, such as Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Pills, etc. can be controlled.
Myth 3: Diarrhea is due to eating unclean things
Erratum: resistance to decline more overeating brew diarrhea
Many people think that diarrhea is the cause of eating unclean things, in fact, not quite.
First of all, the hot weather and rain in summer are very suitable for the growth and reproduction of intestinal pathogenic bacteria, coupled with more sweating and dilution of gastric juice after drinking a lot of water, the local resistance is reduced, which “creates” the conditions for the invasion of pathogenic bacteria.
Secondly, summer is the peak season of tourism, people travel, business trips, more parties, life rules are broken, the whole body resistance is reduced, pathogenic bacteria can take advantage of the situation, if the diet is not restrained, after overeating is very easy to cause acute diarrhea.
In addition, summer is also the season of fruits and vegetables, cold drinks hot, excessive consumption of cold food, but also easy to cause indigestion diarrhea.
In addition, if the food is not stored properly or processing hygiene is not qualified, it is very easy to deteriorate in hot weather, causing diarrhea.
Finally, other factors can also cause diarrhea, such as systemic diseases.
Myth 4: Diarrhea should be fasted and drink more plain water
Erratum: Eating on time is the most important thing. It is difficult to replenish electrolytes with plain water.
Some people believe that when diarrhea occurs, fasting should be conducive to intestinal recuperation. This is not the case, during acute diarrhea, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments rather than simply fasting.
A few patients with severe diarrhea with obvious symptoms of dehydration and shock, and extremely poor gastrointestinal function at this time, may fast for a few hours for a short period of time, and should resume eating as soon as their condition improves.
If diarrhea is accompanied by fever and sweating, vomiting and other symptoms, a large amount of water, electrolytes and water-soluble vitamins will be lost in a short period of time.
Myth 5: Garlic is the safest way to treat diarrhea
Erratum: Allicin spices up the intestinal wall and makes diarrhea symptoms more serious
In the eyes of many people, garlic is the “native penicillin”, so it is often used to treat diarrhea. Unbeknownst to many, when diarrhea occurs, the intestinal mucosa has already undergone inflammatory changes, and a large amount of fluid seeps into the intestinal cavity to stimulate the intestinal wall. If garlic is consumed at this time, it will stimulate the intestinal wall and promote further congestion and edema of the blood vessels, causing more fluid to seep into the intestine, thus aggravating the symptoms of diarrhea.
In addition, raw garlic can cause acute gastritis and abdominal pain and other discomfort.
Garlic should only be consumed for preventive purposes and not in excess.
Special reminder: People with acute diarrhea should go to the hospital immediately if they have the following problems
Those who have diarrhea accompanied by fever with body temperature over 39℃; those who have little urine or even no urine for more than 12 hours; those who have symptoms of toxic shock such as drop in blood pressure, rapid heart rate and cold sweat; those who have severe diarrhea in the elderly or children; those who have diarrhea that does not improve even after 3 to 5 days of medication.
The above problems indicate that the condition is serious and should not be treated with medication at home.
Don’t be in a hurry to change medicines
Some diarrhea patients are so eager to cure their disease that they are eager to change other medicines when they do not see any improvement after 1 to 2 days of medication.
In fact, any drug needs a process to work, if the prescribed course of medication is not used, of course, the effect will not be achieved. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this.
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular ones. This can easily lead to incomplete treatment and make the diarrhea relapse, or turn chronic.
The correct method is to continue the medication for 2 to 3 days after the symptoms disappear.
