What are the symptoms and treatment of enteritis

Only by understanding more about the symptoms of some diseases in life can we take timely treatment measures. For example, enteritis affects many people and often causes patients to experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, so timely diagnosis and correct treatment are necessary.

1. Enteritis is gastroenteritis, enteritis and colitis caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Clinical manifestations include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loose watery stools, or stools with mucus, pus and blood. Some patients may have fever and a feeling of tenesmus, so it is also called infectious diarrhea.

2. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are the main symptoms of enteritis. Why does enteritis cause vomiting and diarrhea? This is caused by nerve reflex. In enteritis, the inflammation of bacteria, toxins or gastrointestinal mucosa stimulates the receptors in the digestive tract, and the impulses are transmitted to the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata, causing the vomiting center to become excited. The impulses reach the stomach, diaphragm, respiratory muscles, abdominal muscles, pharynx, palate, epiglottis, etc. through the efferent nerves, causing a series of coordinated movements that constitute the vomiting action. At the same time, due to the inflammatory stimulation of the intestinal mucosa, the intestinal contents increase, which directly or reflexly causes increased intestinal motility and reduced absorption function, resulting in diarrhea.

3. Since vomiting and diarrhea have a certain protective effect on the human body under certain circumstances, different measures should be taken clinically according to different situations. For example, in case of food poisoning or accidental ingestion of poison, not only should antidiarrheal drugs not be given, but on the contrary, emetics and laxatives should be given to promote the excretion of poisons. If vomiting and diarrhea are caused by gastrointestinal inflammation, in order to reduce the adverse effects of water-salt metabolism and electrolyte imbalance on the body, antiemetic and antidiarrheal treatments should be given while actively treating the cause.

4. Specific methods:

Fast for 1-2 days to replenish fluids, reduce inflammation, and correct acidosis. The methods that can be used are:

Glucose saline 30 ml/kg body weight, 5% sodium bicarbonate 2 ml/kg body weight, intravenous drip.

Kanamycin sulfate 30,000-50,000 units/kg body weight, dexamethasone 2-4 mg/kg body weight, intramuscular injection, 2 times/day, for 3-5 consecutive days.

Gentamycin 10,000 units/kg body weight, dexamethasone 20,000-40,000 units/kg body weight, intramuscular injection, 2 times/day.

Patients with bleeding symptoms can receive an intramuscular injection of hemostatic agent 15-20 mg/kg body weight, twice a day. Or Vk3 0.2-0.3 mg, Vk1 mg/kg body weight, intramuscular injection, 2 times/day.
