Summer is the season of high incidence of intestinal infectious diseases. High temperature and high humidity are conducive to the reproduction of germs, and food is easily contaminated. The Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminded that we should pay attention to drinking water hygiene and food safety. High temperature can kill pathogenic microorganisms, and drinking water should be boiled before drinking. In addition, do not use antibiotics as soon as diarrhea occurs. Abuse of antibiotics may lead to imbalance of normal intestinal flora, which is not conducive to recovery.
According to reports, the main manifestations of intestinal infectious diseases are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, etc., which can lead to dehydration in severe cases, and even life-threatening in rare cases.
Experts from the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that to prevent intestinal infectious diseases, first of all, raw and cooked food should be separated to avoid cross-contamination. The leftover food should be stored in the refrigerator in time, and the storage time should not be too long. Before eating again, it needs to be heated thoroughly, because the low temperature of the refrigerator can only delay the growth of bacteria, and cannot sterilize. In addition, try to eat less food that is easy to carry pathogenic bacteria, such as snails, shells, crabs and other aquatic products, especially do not eat seafood at mobile roadside stalls, and do not eat raw or half-cooked aquatic products. For families with pets, we must do a good job in pet hygiene, and at the same time warn children not to feed pets while eating by themselves.
Experts suggest that if diarrhea occurs, fasting and water deprivation are not recommended. It is advisable to eat light, digestible liquid or semi-liquid food, and gradually transition to a normal diet after symptoms improve. If the diarrhea is not serious, generally by adjusting diet, rest, and symptomatic treatment, the symptoms can be improved within 2 to 3 days; those with severe diarrhea, especially those with dehydration symptoms, should go to the hospital intestinal clinic for treatment in time. In order to prevent dehydration, drink more sugar and salt water, it is best to buy "oral rehydration salts" at the pharmacy; patients who have dehydration or severe vomiting and cannot drink water should go to the hospital in time and take intravenous rehydration and other treatment measures according to the doctor's advice.
Experts suggest that many patients use antibiotics as soon as they have diarrhea, which is wrong. Because most diarrhea does not require antibiotic treatment, the abuse of antibiotics may lead to the imbalance of normal intestinal flora, which is not conducive to the recovery of diarrhea. If unsure whether antibiotics should be used, patients should see a bowel clinician.
