What's wrong with nausea and diarrhea

Nausea and diarrhea are two symptoms that are really common in life. Compared to nausea, diarrhea will make people feel more uncomfortable. Not only will it affect the health of the body, but it will also cause serious delays in work efficiency. The combination of these two situations makes the patients suffer even more. So, what is the reason for such a painful disease to cause death? Let’s take a look at what causes nausea and diarrhea.

Your condition may be a manifestation of acute gastroenteritis and requires active treatment.

Causes

1. Infection by bacteria and toxins

The most common infections are Salmonella and halophilic bacteria (Vibrio parahaemolyticus), the most common toxin is Staphylococcus aureus, and viruses can also be seen. There are often cases of collective outbreaks or multiple outbreaks in families. The disease can be caused by eating contaminated poultry, livestock meat, or fish; eating seafood such as crabs and snails where halophilic bacteria grow; or eating leftovers or rice contaminated by Staphylococcus aureus.

2. Physical and chemical factors

Eating raw or cold food or certain medicines such as salicylates, sulfonamides, certain antibiotics, etc.; or accidentally ingesting strong acids, strong alkalis and pesticides can all cause this disease.

Clinical manifestations

Mild diarrhea caused by acute gastroenteritis is generally in good condition, with less than 10 bowel movements a day, which are yellow or yellow-green in color, with a small amount of mucus or white soap blocks, and not much feces. Sometimes the stool is "egg drop soup-like". Acute gastroenteritis can also cause severe diarrhea, with bowel movements several to dozens of times a day. Large amounts of watery stools, small amounts of mucus, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and sometimes vomiting of coffee-like substances. If hypokalemia occurs, there may be abdominal distension and symptoms of systemic poisoning; such as irregular low or high fever, irritability and then lack of energy, blurred consciousness, and even coma.

treat

1. General treatment

Rest in bed as much as possible. If the condition is mild, take glucose-electrolyte solution orally to replenish the loss of body fluids. If vomiting persists or dehydration is obvious, intravenous supplementation of 5%-10% glucose saline and other relevant electrolytes is required. Encourage intake of light liquids or semi-liquid foods to prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration.

2. Symptomatic treatment

If necessary, antiemetics and antispasmodics can be injected, such as belladonna, 3 times a day. Antidiarrheal drugs: such as Smecta, 2 to 3 times a day.

3. Antimicrobial treatment

The role of antibiotics in the treatment of this disease is controversial. For infectious diarrhea, targeted antibiotics can be appropriately selected. But abuse should be prevented.

According to the above description, we all know that diarrhea may be caused by acute gastroenteritis. In fact, this disease is closely related to irregular and unhealthy eating habits in life. I hope it can attract attention. In addition, I introduced the treatment methods for acute gastroenteritis. You may try them if necessary.
