It can be used clinically to treat bacterial dysentery or gastroenteritis. Its advantage is that it has few side effects.

Common causes of chronic enteritis: viral enteritis, bacterial enteritis, fungal enteritis, parasitic enteritis, enteritis caused by diet, enteritis caused by antibiotics, etc. Patients with chronic enteritis will feel abdominal pain for a long time, which is very painful. So what are the usual treatment methods?

[Pathogen treatment] There will be different treatment methods depending on the patient's condition. If it is viral enteritis, no special treatment is required and it can heal itself by paying attention to diet. However, if it is bacterial enteritis, appropriate antibiotics need to be used for treatment. The choice of antibiotic requires judgment based on the type of bacteria.

[Symptomatic treatment ] Because chronic enteritis can cause electrolyte imbalance and acidosis, we must first replenish the patient with an appropriate amount of fluid to correct the symptoms of electrolyte imbalance and acidosis. The formulas for oral rehydration include: potassium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, glucose (with water), etc.

[Diet adjustment] Do not eat food that is too irritating. When buying meat, choose carefully. Do not be greedy and buy meat and offal from sick animals. Meat must be cooked before eating. Half-cooked meat will not kill the bacteria, which will affect the stomach and intestines and make the condition worse.

[Daily Care] You should pay attention to strengthening exercise to enhance the body's immunity to pathogens and reduce the chance of infection. At the same time, you should also pay attention to keeping warm. Be careful with drinking water, don't drink raw water, don't eat raw food, and develop good hand-washing habits before and after meals.

During the treatment of chronic enteritis, you must pay attention to your personal hygiene habits, remember to brush your teeth every day, develop good habits of regular hand washing before and after meals, do not eat irritating foods, do not eat raw or undercooked meat, and take medications as prescribed by your doctor.
