How, if you have symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, an adult's temperature, can you give yourself first aid?
It is necessary:
1) As much as possible to use liquids that have room or slightly higher temperature (this can be both water and various broths);
2) Exclude completely from your diet at the time of illness coffee, any alcoholic beverages, fruit juices and milk.
You need to drink in small sips in small portions. If there is no appetite or there is a feeling of indigestion or cramping inside the abdomen - do not eat. And when the appetite reappears, it is recommended to eat rice, bananas, crackers from white bread, baked vegetables, and if meat, then only lean and in small quantities. Until the disappearance of symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, an adult's temperature, it is forbidden for him to use fresh fruits, herbs, alcoholic beverages, fatty, spicy, fried. You can, of course, use a non-prescription antidiarrheal agent for these disorders, but if vomiting, diarrhea, and temperature in an adult do not disappear on the second day of taking this drug, then you should not continue, but it is better to visit a doctor.
If you are recommended inpatient treatment, then at best you will stay a couple of days under observation and, if you feel normal, go home. If not, vomiting, diarrhea, and adult temperature will continue, then after examination, blood tests and cultures for infectious agents, they will prescribe treatment with specific antimicrobial or antiparasitic drugs, immunomodulators, and agents that restore the natural intestinal microflora. In severe cases, especially with dehydration, a course of droppers can be prescribed to restore the water-electrolyte balance in the body. Duration of hospital stay can be from seven to fourteen days.
In order to protect yourself and your loved ones from such misfortunes, try to drink only filtered water, always wash berries, vegetables and fruits, as well as hands before eating. Indeed, in addition to the banal intestinal disorder, a person can, due to non-observance of these elementary rules, become infected with hepatitis A, dysentery, and in exotic countries, even cholera. Before traveling to distant countries, take an interest in the necessary vaccinations, and while there, be extremely careful, especially with raw and unusual food.
