Gastroenteritis rescue measures: The cause of acute simple gastritis is simple and the treatment is not complicated. As long as the following measures are followed for rescue, you will quickly return to normal.

(1) Eliminate the cause of the disease, rest in bed, and stop all foods and medications that may irritate the stomach. If appropriate, short-term fasting should be implemented, and then an easily digestible, light, low-residue liquid diet should be given to help the stomach rest and the injury heal.

(2) Encourage drinking water. Since patients lose too much water due to vomiting and diarrhea, they should drink as much water as possible to replenish the lost water. It is better to use sugar and salt water (made by adding a small amount of sugar and salt to boiled water). Do not drink beverages high in sugar to avoid excessive acid production and aggravate abdominal pain. Patients with frequent vomiting can drink a small amount of water (about 50 ml) after each vomiting, and drink it multiple times to avoid vomiting.

(3) Pain relief. Belladonna tablets, atropine, 654-2 and other drugs can be used. You can also apply local hot compress to the abdomen to relieve pain (not necessary for those with gastric bleeding).

(4) For patients with diarrhea and fever, antibacterial drugs such as berberine and norfloxacin can be used appropriately. It is generally not used by patients with mild conditions to avoid further irritation to the stomach.

(5) Patients with severe vomiting, diarrhea, and obvious dehydration should be sent to the hospital for intravenous infusion treatment in a timely manner. Patients will generally recover within 1 to 2 days.

(6) Prevention is the priority. Drink in moderation, avoid overeating, and use with caution or not use drugs that can damage the gastric mucosa. Acute simple gastritis must be treated promptly and recurrence must be prevented after recovery to prevent it from turning into chronic gastritis and becoming unrecoverable.
