General treatment

When the primary disease is difficult to correct for the time being or no obvious primary factors have been found, the following general measures are beneficial to most patients.

1. Correct bad eating habits

Eat enough food.

Eat more foods high in crude fiber and develop the habit of drinking more water.

Take a small amount of wheat bran orally at regular intervals (25-30 g of dietary fiber per day, not suitable for those with organic intestinal stenosis).

The amount of water you drink should reach 3000ml per day.

2. Develop good living habits

Maintaining a regular daily routine, actively participating in physical activities, and maintaining an optimistic mental state can also help improve the function of the digestive tract.

If you eat a lot of meat and fish regularly, you may get diarrhea easily if you are not careful. In view of the characteristics of diarrhea, such as increased intestinal motility, increased intestinal mucosal exudation and/or secretion, and intestinal flora imbalance, antidiarrheal drugs are roughly divided into several types, including intestinal motility inhibitors (such as compound phenoxylate and Imodium), astringent antidiarrheal agents (such as tannic acid protein and bismuth subcarbonate), mucosal protectants (such as Smecta), and microecological agents (such as Bifico and Zhengchangsheng). In addition, adsorbents such as activated carbon can absorb toxins and reduce irritation to the intestinal mucosa, and thus also have an antidiarrheal effect.

The most important thing in treating diarrhea is to prescribe the right medicine for the disease. Diarrhea can be divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious diarrhea is caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, such as bacillary dysentery, bacterial food poisoning, viral enteritis, etc. Non-infectious diarrhea is common in colds, indigestion, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and systemic diseases such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and uremia. Infectious diarrhea is a manifestation of the body's self-protection. It can excrete some toxins, which is beneficial to the human body. If you blindly stop diarrhea, it will be detrimental to the outcome of the disease. In principle, antidiarrheal drugs are only suitable for non-infectious diarrhea and are generally not used for infectious diarrhea, especially in the acute phase, when symptoms of inflammation and poisoning (such as high fever) are more obvious and there is a lot of blood and pus in the stool. Antidiarrheal drugs should be considered an absolute contraindication. In the recovery phase, when the condition has improved significantly, the stool does not contain pus and blood, and there is only a lot of water, antidiarrheal drugs can be taken for a short period of time.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of what to do if we suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. Following the above methods, we can improve this problem. However, it should be noted that when solving vomiting and diarrhea, the choice of food should be mainly light liquid food, which is beneficial to the healthy development of the human body.
