Gastroenteritis is divided into two types: acute and chronic, which refers to inflammation of the gastric mucosa caused by various reasons.

Generally, acute gastroenteritis is more serious, with acute onset and symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, etc. may occur due to vomiting and diarrhea. If electrolytes and fluid intake cannot be replenished in time under this situation, it may be life-threatening. Treatment can be targeted at the cause of the disease. For example, for patients with severe abdominal pain, 0.5 mg of atropine or 10 mg of scopolamine can be injected intramuscularly. For patients with severe vomiting, use the prokinetic drug metoclopramide 10 mg intramuscular injection. Replenish water and electrolytes for those who are dehydrated.

Chronic gastroenteritis is surprisingly a chronic inflammation. The treatment is similar to that for acute cases.

Avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol in daily life. In terms of medication, for those caused by HP, combined use of anti-Helicobacter pylori drugs is necessary. Nausea and vomiting are the same as acute gastroenteritis.

Gastroenteritis is a common disease, just like fever and colds, which is usually more common in summer and autumn and is caused by unclean diet.

As long as you pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to nutrition and keep warm, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination to determine the condition and receive timely treatment when the disease occurs.

If the symptoms of acute gastroenteritis are not very severe, such as not much vomiting, few diarrhea episodes, and no signs of dehydration, intravenous infusion is not necessary and oral medications should be the main treatment, mainly including drugs that protect the stomach, intestines, and regulate flora. Pay attention to drinking plenty of water to ensure adequate water and electrolytes, and pay attention to the amount of urine. If the amount of urine is very small, be sure to drink more water. If vomiting is very severe, intravenous infusion is still needed if necessary.

In general, the condition of acute gastroenteritis depends on the severity. Minor cases can usually be treated with oral medication. If the condition is serious, intravenous treatment is often required. In general, it can be treated with drugs that suppress gastric acid. Pay attention to the usual maintenance. Eat a light diet.
