Summer is the season of high incidence of diarrhea, and hot weather will lead to an increased risk of gastrointestinal diseases, especially in summer, and improper diet can easily cause diarrhea. Most of the summer diarrhea is infectious diarrhea, and the pathogens are mainly bacteria, viruses and parasites. There are also dyspepsia, diarrhea associated with other chronic diseases, drug-related diarrhea, etc.
Treatment of diarrhoea requires the right treatment, and there are four main types of commonly used therapeutic drugs: oral rehydration salts, antidiarrheal drugs, probiotic preparations, and antimicrobial drugs.
Oral rehydration salts: Composed of glucose and essential sodium salts and potassium salts, they can replenish water and important salts lost due to diarrhea and regulate the balance of water and electrolytes. It can be drunk intermittently, in small amounts, and many times.
Antidiarrheal drugs: montmorillonite powder is commonly used, which is a mucosal protector of the digestive tract, which has a strong fixed and inhibitory effect on viruses, bacteria and toxins produced in the digestive tract. At the same time, it can improve the defense function of the mucosa and effectively prevent the attack of pathogenic microorganisms.
Probiotic preparations: can antagonize pathogenic bacteria, promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, improve the body's absorption of nutrients, stimulate the body's immunity, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment.
Some patients have infectious diarrhea caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc., and patients often have symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain. In this case, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for treatment, choose specific antibiotics after clarifying the type of pathogen, and do not use antibacterial drugs without authorization, so as not to aggravate the condition.
