To determine what kind of diarrhea you have

Mucus, or even pus and blood-like substances are visible in the stool, but the amount of each bowel movement isn't much, and it's often a bacterial infection that causes diarrhea. This type of diarrhea needs to be treated with antibiotics, and at the same time take probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora, (take antibiotics for 2 hours before taking probiotics, otherwise antibiotics will inhibit the activity of probiotics, antibiotics are discontinued, but still need to insist on taking probiotics for 1-2 weeks, in order to regulate the intestinal flora)

The stools are dilute and watery, and the amount of stools each time is more, often viral infections caused by diarrhea. Viral infectious diarrhea, there is no specific drug, do not use antibiotics, symptomatic treatment can be, active supplementation of fluids, oral probiotics can assist in the therapeutic effect.

These are the first time I've seen a rotavirus virus in a car, and I've seen a lot of rotavirus virus in a car.

Diarrhea that occurs after eating a certain kind of food is often allergic diarrhea, which is obviously related to eating, and can be corrected by adjusting the diet.

Primitive food particles in the stool without fever and occasional vomiting are mostly diarrhea caused by indigestion.

Easy to commit diarrhea misunderstanding

1 diarrhea should be fast food and water?

After diarrhea, the body is prone to lack of water and nutrients, at this time and then fasting without water, there is a risk of dehydration. If severe dehydration, what to eat what to vomit, electrolyte disorders, this time can be temporarily fasting, so that the gastrointestinal tract is at rest, intravenous fluids to replenish water and electrolytes.

2 diarrhea get better have to eat more?

While the diarrhea has improved, but the body is still in the recovery period, at this time the intestinal tract is very sensitive to food, we should pay special attention to diet, should avoid eating too early fat, fried food, cold and hard food, food should be easy to digest, rich in nutrients, with the body's improvement, and gradually increase the type and quantity of diet.

3An antibiotic for diarrhea?

Before using antibiotics, we must do routine laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis of bacterial infection, diarrhea, whether to take antibiotics is not only depends on the stool characteristics and the number of bowel movements, to the hospital labs prevail. Bacterial-induced enteritis, from the appearance of mucus or mixed with blood, the taste of bad smell. The key is that the stool routine can be seen to contain more than 15 ~ 20 white blood cells or pus cells per high power field of view, mostly accompanied by red blood cells. Antibiotics must be taken if it is typical bacterial enteritis.

The use of antibiotics will inevitably destroy the intestinal flora. If they must be used, they must be supplemented with probiotics. Otherwise, the intestinal flora imbalance will be repeated diarrhea. If you see only a few white blood cells in the stool routine, oral probiotics can be used. Remember, antibiotics will affect the body's normal flora, can cause "antibiotic-associated diarrhea", or even aggravate the diarrhea, here to remind you that antibiotics are not a panacea!

4The baby's diarrhea must be diarrhea?

Not necessarily, infants and young children are very common, generally breastfed babies stool more often, more dilute, is a normal phenomenon, do not mistake it for diarrhea, if there is a change in the stool, to see if it is caused by breast milk, perhaps two pull on their own, in addition, in the process of adding complementary foods, babies may become dilute stool, the number of times on the side of a lot, which may be on the new complementary foods do not adapt to, and the baby is not a good choice for the baby. This may be due to discomfort with the new supplement, which will improve if you reduce the amount or change the supplement.

This is a question that many people have

1My child is 2 years old, his stomach is not very good, and he has 1-2 bowel movements every day, I don't know if he has diarrhea or not, sometimes his bowel movements are shaped and sometimes they are mushy, and sometimes in the morning they are shaped and in the afternoon they are mushy. How can I tell if he has diarrhea?

It is not diarrhea if your child has regular bowel movements once or twice a day and the stools are formed. However, if your baby usually has one bowel movement a day and then suddenly increases it to more than three, and the nature of the bowel movement changes, such as becoming watery or separating the water from the feces, then your baby is suffering from diarrhea.

2I have diarrhea all the time and I often use anti-diarrhea medicines.

It is not scientific to use antidiarrheal immediately after diarrhea occurs. Because the early stage of diarrhea, diarrhea can be the body of the pathogenic bacteria and the toxins they produce and enter the gastrointestinal tract of the harmful substances out of the body, to reduce the toxic effects on the human body. At this time if the use of antidiarrheal agents, undoubtedly "closed door to keep the enemy", will only increase the harm to the body. Of course, in the frequent diarrhea, long duration and symptoms of dehydration, under the premise of correcting the water electrolyte disorders, can be used as appropriate antidiarrheal agents.

What should I do?

When you judge that diarrhea does occur, but it is not serious, you can observe at home, you can drink a small amount of light sugar and saline to prevent dehydration, but if the following situations occur, or you can not identify bacterial or viral infections or other situations, you need to go to the hospital in time to see a doctor:

①There is a fever that lasts for 24 to 48 hours, poor mental status, lasts more than 12 to 24 hours of Vomiting, or vomiting can not eat caused by dehydration, etc.

② vomit green, with blood or coffee-like residue

③ abdominal bulging (swelling), severe abdominal pain, rash or jaundice, etc.

④ supplementation of saline, four hours, but still did not urinate, thirst, etc., which is a manifestation of dehydration

If the state of mind is good, simple dilute watery stools, no dehydration, normal diet, can be observed, but if there is a situation that can not be judged or identified, even if there is no symptom as mentioned above, it is necessary to go to the hospital in a timely manner, so as not to delay the condition.
