Diarrhea, take antidiarrheal pills, antibiotics, this is what many people do when they have diarrhea, but non-infectious diarrhea treatment does not require antibiotics, and the abuse of antibiotics for diarrhea may also bring other hazards. Diarrhea is broadly divided into two categories: infectious and non-infectious: infectious diarrhea is caused by pathogenic organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc. The most common infectious diarrhea such as bacterial dysentery is diarrhea caused by bacterial infection and requires antibiotic treatment. Non-infectious diarrhea is caused by indigestion and abnormal intestinal function, such as diarrhea caused by gastrointestinal indigestion, excessive intestinal peristalsis or gastrointestinal malabsorption. The treatment of this type of diarrhea is mainly to help digestion, by improving the digestion and absorption capacity of the intestines and slowing down intestinal peristalsis to stop diarrhea; diarrhea caused by digestive diseases such as ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome should be treated for the disease itself to achieve the purpose of stopping diarrhea. However, non-infectious diarrhea is common on weekdays, and most diarrhea does not require treatment with antibiotics. At present, our patients still have the problem of high antibiotic use rate, although the scientific and rational use of antibiotics mainly in the medical community, but the relevant experts said that due to the lack of knowledge of antibiotics, many patients also fall into the misunderstanding, which is also a source of antibiotics are abused, it is necessary to popularize some scientific knowledge of antibiotics. The common toxic side effects of antibiotics 1, liver and kidney toxicity: drugs are to be metabolized through the liver and kidneys, the toxic root to the body will have some individual differences, but in general does not need to use the antibiotics situation is not necessary to let the liver and kidneys to bear these toxic side effects. “It’s a drug, three times more toxic”, should follow the doctor’s advice to use the drug, should not use antibiotics without permission. 2, allergic reactions: mostly occur in people with atopic constitution, and its performance is most serious with anaphylaxis. Penicillin and streptomycin may trigger it, with penicillin being the most common and more serious. Allergic reactions can be fatal in severe cases. 3, double infection: when the use of antibacterial drugs to inhibit or kill sensitive bacteria, some insensitive bacteria or mold but continue to grow and multiply, causing new infections, this is the “double infection”. This is a common occurrence in patients who have been abusing antibacterial drugs for a long time. Antibiotics can damage the micro-ecosystem in the intestinal tract, leading to dysbiosis of the intestinal flora and may also lead to more stubborn and difficult to treat diarrhea. 4, drug resistance: the use of a large number of antibiotics is undoubtedly the resistance of pathogenic bacteria “exercise”, in the majority of common bacteria were killed at the same time, the original does not dominate the resistance of pathogenic bacteria but survived and multiplied. And because of the long-term stimulation of drugs, some of the pathogenic bacteria have mutated and become drug-resistant strains. The “superbugs” are largely the result of antimicrobial drug abuse, and are likely to face infections when no drugs are available. The most common misconceptions about antibiotics are that antibiotics are anti-inflammatory drugs that inhibit or kill microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi, but are not effective against viruses, while anti-inflammatory drugs are used to reduce inflammatory responses, such as fentanyl and other anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs that are commonly used. Antibiotics are indicated for infections caused by bacteria (inflammation is the body’s secondary defense response) and are ineffective for inflammation caused by viruses, such as those caused by viruses like colds, etc. Antibiotics should not be used. It is not uncommon to use antibiotics when the cause of diarrhea is unknown. There are many causes of diarrhea, and we hope that patients with diarrhea will find the right cause and prescribe the right medicine, and not blindly diagnose and treat the disease. But what exactly is the cause of diarrhea, what type of diarrhea, when you can not judge it yourself or go to a regular hospital for examination, unauthorized use of antibiotics may not be effective, but also a waste of money, the greatest harm is also the harm caused by the abuse of antibiotics. In addition, Chinese medicine has been used to treat gastrointestinal diseases since ancient times, and is widely used in clinical practice without any obvious side effects and with fast onset of action, so if you have diarrhea, you should go to the anorectal clinic in time.
