Everyone knows what it means when a stomach ache and diarrhea lasts several days. But not everyone understands the symptoms of similar diseases and some rules for their treatment. Although these data are necessary until the moment when a person begins to take action.
To begin with, we will determine that when the stomach and diarrhea hurt, then this is the main sign that there is a disease of the gastrointestinal tract. But it is also necessary to determine which, since the spectrum of major diseases is very wide:
- acute infectious (cholera, dysentery, salmonellosis and so on);
- acute chronic (syphilis in the intestines, tuberculosis);
- infestations (giardiasis, amoebiasis, helminthiasis, etc.);
- the presence of inflammatory processes (enteritis, colitis, and so on);
- dysbiosis;
- intestinal wall dystrophy;
- toxic poisoning with harmful substances;
- cancerous growths;
- irritable bowel syndrome and functional disorders;
- rotavirus infection.
In addition, a condition where the stomach hurts and diarrhea periodically occurs can be observed in the presence of a disease of a number of other body systems:
- stomach diseases when its secretory function decreases (for example, gastritis);
- malfunctioning of the pancreas (tumor, pancreatitis);
- diseases of the biliary tract, liver and kidneys;
- endocrine changes in the body;
- neuralgia and allergies.
Therefore, in the event that the child has a stomach ache and there is diarrhea, initially you need to establish the correct diagnosis, and only then start treatment and prescribe a diet. The fact is that this process will be effective when taking into account the main manifestations and observing the mandatory rules.
The first rule. Urgently need to introduce a diet. In the presence of fermentative diarrhea, protein food (fish, meat, eggs and cottage cheese) should prevail, but rotten - only carbohydrate (cereals and crackers). You can’t follow a strict diet for a long time if it contains rubbed foods, as this is very harmful to the body.
The second rule. If your stomach hurts, and diarrhea is accompanied by a rise in fever, then you need to keep in mind that this is most likely an infectious disease. As a rule, there is also vomiting. This condition is very harmful to the body. It is recommended to urgently lower the body temperature if it is more than 38.5 degrees. Moreover, all medications, drinks and food in the presence of vomiting should be consumed in small portions, but very often. For example, compote can be drunk in two small spoons every 10 minutes. The fact is that with diarrhea and vomit, more fluid usually comes out than the body managed to get. Therefore, the main task is precisely to stop this process.
Rule Four Mandatory is the use of drugs that remove toxic substances (for example, Enterosgel or Smecta).
The fifth rule. Sweet drinks are not recommended. The best option is dried fruit compote or jelly.
Rule Six In addition to the medications prescribed by your doctor, you can use traditional medicine recipes. So, with severe diarrhea, blood broth broths, infusions from a serpentine, unsalted rice broth, vodka (80 g) with salt (1/3 of a small spoon) and alcohol infusion from walnut partitions (per teaspoon per day) for adults are very effective for adults . There are a lot of similar recipes.
In general, it can be noted that if you have a stomach ache and diarrhea, then you must act immediately, because the above diseases do not go away on their own. It is necessary to establish the cause of such symptoms and carefully follow the recommendations received from a specialist doctor in order to avoid the most serious consequences - dehydration and weakening of the body.
