In this way, we will have diarrhea and other symptoms, and the excrement produced is slightly similar to ordinary excrement. Generally speaking, this situation can be solved by some ways. So what should we do if we have diarrhea and diarrhea?

1. Hydration

Due to the large amount of bowel movements, diarrhea patients suffer from severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. At this time, they must replenish a lot of water. It is best to use warm boiled water with a little salt. You can also supplement with fruit juice, such as watermelon juice, apple juice, carrot juice, etc. These juices can not only provide the body with water, but also supplement the vitamins needed by the human body.

2. Huoxiang Zhengqi Water Method

It is useful to drink some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water when you have stomach pain and diarrhea. The effect will be better if you take some anti-inflammatory drugs with it.

3. Steamed yam method

The nutritional value of yam is very high. It is beneficial to improve the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function.

In the early stage of abdominal pain and diarrhea, wash the yam with skin, steam it in a pot, peel it and try to eat it. The effect will be quick.

4. Take anti-inflammatory drugs

Stomach pain and diarrhea are mostly caused by gastrointestinal inflammation. You can also use anti-inflammatory drugs such as berberine tablets, norfloxacin capsules, and chloramphenicol to treat diarrhea, but remember to drink plenty of water, warm water, and light salt water to replenish your body with enough water to prevent dehydration.

5. Pay attention to food hygiene

Stomach pain and diarrhea are often caused by unhygienic diet. Some people think that everyone eats the same food, why are others fine, but only I have stomach pain and diarrhea? If there is a problem with the food, everyone eats the same thing. This is not necessarily the case. Other people’s gastrointestinal resistance is stronger than yours, or you already have habitual enteritis problems, the results will of course be different, so you must pay attention to food hygiene, eat more light food, and eat less spicy food, hot pot, etc.

6. Actively strengthen exercise

Don't underestimate physical exercise, and don't mistakenly think that exercise is just to make the body stronger, as if it has nothing to do with stomach pain and diarrhea. In fact, you are wrong. Long-term exercise can enhance your physical fitness, and indirectly regulate and enhance gastrointestinal function. The enhanced gastrointestinal resistance to bacteria is naturally closely related to your stomach pain and diarrhea.

7. Eat more light liquid food

You must eat light liquid food during diarrhea, because the stomach and intestines need sufficient rest during diarrhea. Edible things include porridge, pasta, and vegetables. Try not to eat snacks to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. You can add a little salt to the porridge. Only after slowly adjusting your body and allowing the stomach and intestines to slowly return to normal can you eat normally.

8. Seek medical attention immediately if the condition is serious

If the above methods do not relieve the stomach pain and diarrhea, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately, cooperate with the doctor to do various examinations, actively treat, and strive for a speedy recovery!
