Infectious diarrhea, do not rush to use antidiarrheal drugs. Taking antidiarrheal agents for infectious diarrhea can cover up the condition and affect the doctor's diagnosis. For example, patients with bacillary dysentery taking antidiarrheal agents will affect the excretion of bacteria and toxins in the intestine, which will aggravate the symptoms of toxic blood and prolong the course of disease. Especially in the acute stage of diarrhea, when the symptoms of inflammation and poisoning (such as high fever) are obvious and there are many purulent stools, it should be regarded as an absolute taboo for antidiarrheal agents. In the recovery period, the condition is obviously improved, the stool does not contain pus and blood, and only when there is more water, you can take antidiarrheal agents for a short time. Common drugs are berberine, gentamicin, norfloxacin and so on.
2, non-infectious diarrhea, do not use antibiotics.
Non-infectious diarrhea does not need to be treated with antibiotics. If these patients use antibiotics, there may be three major harms: 1) promoting the increase of drug-resistant strains; 2) toxic side effects (such as drug-induced deafness); 3) It is easy to cause intestinal flora imbalance, which leads to prolonged diarrhea. In China, only about 30% of diarrhea needs antibiotic treatment. For non-infectious diarrhea, you can take montmorillonite powder, Mamiai, whole intestines and so on for symptomatic treatment.
