Treatment of digestive tract infections

Indigent tract infections are a common disease, mainly those caused by pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and fungi, leading to a range of disorders such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea and vomiting. The following are common treatments for digestive tract infections.

General treatment • Rest and food adjustment • Rest: In case of an infection in the digestive tract, the body needs to concentrate on the pathogen and adequate rest is essential. Patients should try to rest in bed, reduce physical exhaustion and help to recover. In particular at the beginning of the infection, the rest can alleviate physical fatigue and the intestinal burden. • Dietary adjustment: a reasonable diet can alleviate the symptoms of digestive tract infections to some extent. During acute infections, it is generally recommended that patients eat light, digestible foods such as rice, noodles, buns, etc. These foods are easily digestible and do not overburden the intestinal tract. Avoid eating greasy, spicy, irritating foods, such as fried foods, peppers, etc., which can stimulate gastrointestinal tracts and aggravate symptoms such as diarrhoea and vomiting. At the same time, care should be taken to avoid eating too much at a time. • Hydraulic and electrolyte supplements: Indigent infections are often accompanied by vomiting and diarrhoea, which can lead to significant body loss of moisture and electrolyte, such as sodium, potassium, etc. Therefore, timely recharge of moisture and electrolyte is essential. Oral rehydration salts can be used to supplement the lost components. For patients with mild dehydration, oral rehydration salts can effectively correct dehydration. If the patient is sick of vomiting and is unable to obtain oral rehydration, glucose, physio-saline and electrolyte may need to be replenished by IVS to maintain the water-salt balance of the body.

II. Treatment of the symptoms — Stop the diarrhea: If the symptoms of diarrhoea are serious, the diarrhea can be used. The commonly used laxative is demolitic, which forms a protective membrane on the intestinal surface, adsorbs bacteria and toxins in the intestinal tract and reduces the frequency of diarrhoea. It should be noted, however, that at the beginning of the infection, if diarrhoea is a way for the body to excrete the pathogens, the laxity should not be too urgent to prevent the pathogens from remaining in the body for too long. • Stopping of vomiting: Some stopping drugs can be used to mitigate vomiting symptoms. Methoxychloropamine, for example, can function in the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract to inhibit vomit reflection. In the use of anti-smoking pills, care is taken to observe the patient ‘ s response and to avoid adverse effects such as sleeping addiction, dizziness, etc. Reduce abdominal pain: abdominal pain is one of the common symptoms of digestive tract infections. In the case of mild abdominal abdominal pain, it can be mitigated by abdominal abdominal abdominal abdomen with hot water bags or hot towels for 15 to 20 minutes each, which can facilitate local blood circulation and reduce intestinal convulsions. For more severe abdominal pains, antisalvation drugs, such as mountain luminum, may be used under the guidance of a doctor, with care that they may cause side effects such as drying and blurred vision.

Anti-infection treatment • Treatment of viral infections: For most digestive virus infections, there are currently no specific anti-viral drugs that rely primarily on the body’s own immunity to remove the virus. Diarrhoea due to the infection of the rota virus is usually self-recoverable within 1-2 weeks. However, in some exceptional cases, such as severe intestinal virus infections, some antiviral drugs may be used for assistive treatment, although this is relatively rare. • Treatment of bacterial infections: In cases of bacteria-induced digestive tract infections, such as salmonella, coliform, etc., suitable antibiotics are selected according to the type of pathogens. Prior to the use of antibiotics, it is advisable to conduct excreta training and drug sensitization tests to determine the most effective antibiotics. The commonly used antibiotics are quinone-type drugs such as Noflosat and Left Oxygen (with care for children and pregnant women) and gillactin-like drugs. The course of treatment for the use of antibiotics is usually 3-7 days, depending on the severity of the condition and the type of pathogens. Treatment of fungi infections: Relatively few infections occur in digestive fungi, but they may occur in some populations with low levels of immunization. In the case of fungi infections, common antifluorinated drugs are fluorine, fungi, etc. For example, oral or oesophagus infections caused by white pyrocolosis can be applied to coated or crushed with compost tablets.

• Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine: Chinese medicine also offers some treatment for digestive tract infections. Some Chinese prescriptions, such as fragrance, have a positive effect on symptoms such as typhus, dysenteral flu, vomiting and laxa caused by internal typhus. The mesopharmaceutical yellow tablets also have some antibacterial effect on intestinal bacterial infections. The treatment of digestive tract infections requires a combination of the type of infection, the severity of the symptoms, etc., and appropriate treatment methods, as well as close observation of changes in the patient ‘ s condition and timely adjustment of treatment programmes.
