The frogs are chirping and insects are chirping, fish are leaping and birds are scattering, the wilderness in early spring is already booming, the kites are embracing the blue sky, unknowingly, spring is stepping lightly and quietly coming to us – spring is in full bloom in May, and it is time for the May Day holiday. It’s the time for family reunion, and going out for dinner is naturally the happiest time of the family. At this time of year, friends are in good spirits and their appetite increases, so they can enjoy the joy of family life to the fullest. However, medical experts remind that during the holiday season must control the diet, especially with the temperature rising, and the season of various intestinal bacteria multiplying, the diarrhea clinic of major hospitals opened on May 1 every year, for the treatment of patients with diarrhea, some doctors and patients still have quite a few misconceptions: Jinan City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Department of Gastroenterology Liu Weiming has diarrhea on the use of antidiarrheal drugs Many patients, including some In fact, this is not right. Taking antidiarrheal drugs prematurely or improperly will delay the disease and can even lead to serious complications. When not treated for the cause, diarrhea is actually a protective mechanism to expel toxins and some necrotic cells from the body, if these are absorbed systemic symptoms and toxic symptoms can occur, and can even bring about serious consequences of obstruction. Diarrhea is inflammation, should take anti-inflammatory drugs anti-inflammatory drugs, that is, clinically speaking, antibiotics, there is a good side, there is also a bad side, the good side can kill bacteria, play a good role, but the bad side, can occur in different degrees of adverse reactions, such as toxic reactions, can lead to kidney toxicity, proteinuria, red blood cells, white blood cells, can lead to liver toxicity, so that liver function damage, but also cause viral reactions in the nervous system, lead to reactions in the hematological system, and also gastrointestinal reactions, which can lead to nausea, vomiting, and even more aggravated diarrhea. In addition, it can lead to dysbiosis of the intestinal flora and secondary infections and drug-resistant reactions. In fact, some diarrhea does not require antibiotics, such as: viral diarrhea, functional diarrhea, food poisoning, etc. Take painkillers to relieve diarrhea pain clinically there is a principle for the treatment of abdominal pain: painkillers should not be used when the cause is not clear to avoid masking the condition. Nowadays, there are only two kinds of painkillers commonly used in clinical practice, one is antipyretic and analgesic, which will have a damaging effect on the gastric mucosa, and if this drug is taken when the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract is inflamed, it will aggravate the lesion and make the diarrhea worse. The second category is antispasmodic and analgesic drugs, which are commonly used such as atropine and belladonna tablets. These drugs achieve the effect of pain relief by making the muscles relax, but once the muscles relax, the peristalsis of the intestines slows down and plays a role in stopping diarrhea, and the premature use of antidiarrheal drugs will inhibit the excretion of toxins and bacteria, making the condition chronic. Take the medicine when it is serious, stop when you stop using antibiotics, you can’t just stop, otherwise you will develop bacterial resistance, you must wait for two to three days after the symptoms disappear before stopping the medicine. However, for special flora such as bacillary dysentery and paratyphoid fever, the drug can only be stopped when the stool culture is negative. Drink more water when you have diarrhea to replenish the lost water. When you have diarrhea, you should drink more water, but not plain water. In case of more serious dehydration, such as dizziness and dry skin, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an IV. Patients with diarrhea must insist on eating when they have diarrhea, otherwise they will suffer from malnutrition, which is not conducive to recovery from diarrhea and the normalization of the injured gastrointestinal mucosa. During the diarrhea eating style: 1. early diarrhea easy to enter light liquid food, such as rice soup with a little pickle. 2. diarrhea in the middle of the symptom improvement should be into semi-liquid food, such as light noodles. 3. eat less sweets, milk. 4. avoid eating raw and cold food, garlic. Garlic plays an antiseptic role, but has a strong stimulating effect. Eat garlic to prevent diarrhea, but not to cure it! In addition, it takes 7 to 10 days for the gastrointestinal tract to recover its function, so you cannot eat and drink at this time, otherwise it will lead to chronic gastrointestinal dysfunction. For patients suffering from chronic diarrhea, you may want to try a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Chinese herbal medicine has powerful advantages in regulating gastrointestinal diseases, and a few servings of soup can achieve twice the effect with half the effort, relieving you of years of trouble.
