How to treat acute gastroenteritis, these aspects need to be done

Summer is coming, and the most common disease in this season is acute gastroenteritis. Since many people like to eat barbecue, unhygienic food stimulates the stomach and intestines and easily causes symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. When acute gastroenteritis occurs, you must first fast, and then the diet should be light.

1. Stop eating and drinking. For those with mild diarrhea caused by acute gastroenteritis, it is best to fast for 12 hours and then eat liquid food, such as porridge, soft noodles, etc.; Even if you are hungry, you must endure it and don’t eat too much, otherwise it will become more serious.

2. Light diet During the treatment, you must eat light food and control your mouth. No matter how strong the desire to eat delicious food is, you must control yourself rationally. You can cook some vegetable porridge and eat some soft noodles. These foods are easy to digest and will not bring irritation and burden to the injured stomach and intestines. You should also drink more warm water and some light salt water to replenish the water and electrolyte imbalance caused by diarrhea.

3. Pay attention to rest. During the treatment of gastroenteritis, you must pay attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc. have already seriously damaged your vitality. If you do not rest well, it will be detrimental to your physical recovery. You must also pay attention to keeping warm when resting and avoid catching cold, because gastroenteritis can cause a mild fever. If you feel hot and "expose your chest and back", with the fan or air conditioner blowing, you will easily catch a cold, which will be even more detrimental to the recovery of gastroenteritis and will only make the situation worse.

4. Seek medical attention promptly. If you experience symptoms of acute gastroenteritis, you must go to the hospital for examination. Do not hold on to the mentality that it will get better if you endure it, as this will only make the condition worse. Follow the doctor's advice and take medicine or receive intravenous drips.
