Gastrointestinal cold

The most commonly used patent medicine for gastrointestinal cold is Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid (pill), which has more exact effect.

Gastrointestinal cold is mainly caused by a virus called "Sacchi", accompanied by mixed bacterial infection. Gastrointestinal cold is also called "vomiting" in medicine. Its main symptoms are abdominal distension, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, frequent defecation and physical fatigue. In severe cases, it will lead to dehydration, electrolyte disorder and immune system damage. At this time, if you use antidiarrheal drugs for treatment, you will not only be unable to relieve your illness, but also delay it.

The manifestations of gastrointestinal cold in children;

Because the baby's gastrointestinal function is poor or his diet is hungry at ordinary times, once he feels cold after eating too much greasy food, it is particularly easy to scrimp and save, causing gastrointestinal reactions. In addition to the common symptoms of a cold, the baby will also have abdominal flatulence, not thinking about diet and other discomfort. Some babies can still smell a sour taste in their mouths, and in severe cases, they will spit out sour and indigestible food. At the same time, the baby's stool is sour, accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry stool, no defecation for many days, yellow urine, yellow tongue coating and other symptoms.

Incentive measures:

The inducement of gastrointestinal cold mainly comes from external stimuli and other factors, and the weather changes from cold to warm. This is due to the stimulation of cold air on the stomach, plus abnormal living habits and poor diet. At present, the weather is cold, and many people like to drink cold drinks when eating hot pot. These greasy, spicy, hot and cold foods will stimulate the intestinal mucosa and cause gastrointestinal spasm.

However, the doctor pointed out that gastrointestinal colds are different from gastroenteritis. The main difference is that patients with acute gastroenteritis often have a history of unclean diet, severe nausea and vomiting, and vomit often has a pungent smell, but generally there is no fever. However, many people often treat gastrointestinal cold as acute gastroenteritis in the early stage of the disease.

Treatment and prevention:

The most commonly used patent medicine for gastrointestinal cold is Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid (pill), which has more exact effect.

According to experts, the treatment of gastrointestinal cold is mainly based on rest. On the one hand, patients should rest more, reduce physical exertion, and enhance the body's strength against diseases. On the other hand, the gastrointestinal tract should be fully rested. Reducing the burden on the stomach and intestines is to restore digestive function as soon as possible, and then increase food intake. On the contrary, it will only increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and become chronic gastroenteritis over time.

Doctors believe that under normal circumstances, dieting for about a week, there will be no concern about malnutrition. When vomiting is obvious in the early stage, intravenous rehydration can be appropriate, and the rest can be treated as a cold. Antiviral drugs can be used to treat gastrointestinal cold, such as moroxydine, ribavirin, Banlangen granules, etc. Be careful not to use antibiotics blindly, because it will not only be ineffective, but will lead to disorder of normal intestinal flora, aggravate the condition and prolong the course of disease. In addition, smecta can be used in combination with oral rehydration salts (ORS), with good effect, which can quickly relieve symptoms and shorten the course of disease.

Preventing gastrointestinal colds is actually very simple: drink plenty of water, and it is best not to eat frozen drinks; Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables; Eat more digestible food; Let the air in the living room circulate, and go to crowded public places less.

Intimate reminder:

Medical experts advise patients with gastrointestinal colds to be afraid of entering the viscera when they have a cold. If the virus affects organs such as liver and kidney, it will increase the burden on liver and kidney. If the virus invades the heart and brain, it will lead to viral myocarditis, viral encephalitis and other diseases. If the child continues to have fever or cold symptoms, vomiting, severe headache, stiff neck and poor spirit, he must go to a regular hospital for treatment in time, and never take medicine at home to avoid delaying his illness.
