Temperature, nausea, diarrhea, weakness - all these are symptoms that can occur simultaneously in both children and adults. There are many factors that can lead to the appearance of such ailments. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor as soon as possible to determine the main cause of the condition worsening - this will help to avoid severe dehydration of the body, get rid of symptoms, suppress pain and other possible complications.
Causes of an unpleasant condition
The main causes of nausea, diarrhea and weakness include:
- Taking drugs or alcohol. Dependence on narcotic substances and alcohol irreversibly leads to the destruction of human systems and organs. Bad habits reduce the body's immune system. In addition, the use of alcohol and drugs leads to additional symptoms: constipation, nausea, an unpleasant odor from the oral cavity. Intoxication provokes a violation of the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Under the influence of harmful substances, the tissues of the abdominal cavity begin to weaken, beneficial substances are poorly absorbed into the intestines, resulting in constipation. Often, adults develop diarrhea after taking a large amount of alcohol (in particular this applies to beer and various alcoholic cocktails).
- Improper nutrition. The modern rhythm of life, to which a person is accustomed, does not allow eating normally, since there is very little time left for preparing the right food and healthy rest. Most of their time, people prefer to spend on work, doing chores, resolving issues, so they almost don't pay attention to the right diet. Such a lifestyle over time begins to cause severe harm to the digestive system: disorders of the gastrointestinal tract can occur, as well as other diseases. If food does not penetrate the stomach in a timely manner, and hydrochloric acid begins to corrode its walls, then this leads to heartburn and vomiting.
- Stress can also cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, weakness and fever in an adult. Emotional overload, stress during the day, depression can cause unpleasant symptoms. In this case, nausea, pain in the dorsal region, bloating, heartburn often appear. Excessive experiences lead to cramping in the stomach. Frequent experiences as a result can lead to serious health problems and even diseases, for example, to an ulcer.
- Eating excessive amounts of junk food. Foods that are sold in any store include a large amount of carbohydrates and salt. Any kind of fast food can be attributed to such food - there is almost nothing useful for the human body in it. Regular consumption of this kind of food leads to problems with the gastrointestinal tract: the appearance of diarrhea, halitosis, heartburn, and dysbiosis. It has been proven that taking fast food in large quantities as a result leads to obesity, a feeling of drowsiness even with proper rest, and also dementia.
- Abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, weakness and dizziness as a result of taking medication. The course of taking medications, especially with a strong effect, it is important to carry out strictly, following the instructions of the attending physician. It is forbidden to independently change the dosage and take drugs longer than the prescribed time. When the first unpleasant symptoms appear, it is important to immediately see a doctor. When taking strong-acting drugs, the patient may have side effects in the form of the onset of vomiting, an increase in the acidity in the stomach, which will be difficult to reduce with simple drugs. To get rid of the malaise, experts recommend stopping antibiotics. In some cases, along with high acidity, the patient rises in temperature.
Preventive measures
The main factor in the prevention of nausea, diarrhea, headache and weakness is the observance of personal hygiene.
This includes:
- It is forbidden to drink raw water from a tap or from a well on a site;
- it is important to wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating;
- drinks and foods need to be protected from insects by covering something.
At the end of the meal, it is forbidden to leave unwashed dishes in the sink, and it is also recommended to remove all crumbs from the table. It is important to install a special lid on the bin and take it out every day.
Possible diseases
Particularly dangerous causes of the appearance of the described symptoms include various diseases that need timely diagnosis and treatment. These include:
- Enterovirus infection. With a disease of the intestinal form, the patient has diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, increased gas formation, nausea. The indicators of intoxication are moderate. In newborns, the disease passes with catarrhal manifestations in the nasopharynx.
- Difficulties in the functioning of the intestines. Such disorders can lead to premature saturation syndrome. In this case, the patient indicates the presence of nausea, diarrhea, headache and weakness. The syndrome of rapid saturation appears as a result of a decrease in the general tone and functioning of only one section of the stomach. Patient intake of even small portions of food leads to pulling sensations in the lower abdomen and a quick feeling of fullness.
- The appearance of a hernia. The main symptom of a hernia in the esophagus is belching. Due to the ingestion of food and gastric juice on the mucous membrane of the esophagus, belching becomes bitter or acidic. Patients sometimes have heartburn, which appears mainly when playing sports, overeating, drinking alcohol. Anemia and pain in the presence of a hernia indicate that bleeding has opened inside the esophagus. In this case, when analyzing the patient's feces, the doctor detects an impurity of blood.
Gastritis and ulcer
Vomiting, diarrhea and weakness of the body with gastritis can occur together with pain in the abdomen, sour belching, bitterness in the oral cavity. In this case, treatment of vomiting and diarrhea should be started immediately after getting rid of the root causes of the disease. In the presence of biliary reflux gastritis, the patient informs the doctor about severe abdominal pain, belching, intestinal disorders, complete or partial lack of appetite.
In some cases, severe bleeding occurs in which the patient vomits blood. Fecal matter may contain blood and be resinous in color. An analysis for determining hidden blood is most often positive. The main symptom that indicates the presence of such gastritis is vomiting with bile. Due to impaired bowel movements, nausea and vomiting haunts the patient in the morning and evening.
If there is an ulcer, the patient has corresponding unpleasant symptoms. Before heartburn, a patient has a slight malaise after eating. In the abdomen, severe pulling pains begin. In addition, vomiting and belching may begin .
Pancreatitis and cholecystitis
In vomit with pancreatitis, bile can be easily detected. In addition to vomiting, the patient also has additional symptoms of the lesion: pain, fatigue and general weakness of the body. With an exacerbation of pancreatitis, it is undesirable to eat food, so as not to provoke vomiting with bile. A properly designed diet by a doctor is the main factor that will help to cope with the disease and improve the patient's condition.
With cholecystitis, the patient has a characteristic bitterness, a taste of metal, vomiting and belching in the mouth. In addition, severe pain in the abdomen develops, stool is broken, increased gas formation appears. Often diarrhea and constipation alternate. With cholecystitis, a foamy stool often occurs. A sick patient may be particularly aggressive, often complain of difficulty sleeping.
If there is no temperature
Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, weakness without fever are a rare condition in medical practice. If the patient vomits, he develops pain in the head and coordination is impaired - these may be signs of vertigo. Vertigo refers to the manifestation of various diseases of a neurological nature. However, in adults and children there is no increase in body temperature.
Immediately after the onset of the first unpleasant symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare professional. Trying to normalize the condition yourself at home in this case is prohibited. Such symptoms can be dangerous and indicate some serious illness. Incorrect treatment can lead to complications.
Help at home can be provided only when the cause of this condition is precisely determined. But in any situation, taking medications of your choice is unacceptable, since the effect of them can change the overall clinical picture and it will be difficult for the doctor to determine what is really happening with the patient.
Therapeutic measures
If poisoning of the body has occurred, then the patient should immediately rinse the stomach with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and water. In the presence of vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and weakness without fever, it is recommended to take "Smecta", "Regidron" or any sorbent. If the patient suffers from vomiting, then for some time he is forbidden to eat food. Experts recommend drinking a little water or dissolving pieces of ice every fifteen minutes. After you need to follow proper nutrition without spicy and fatty foods, which can provoke inflammatory processes of the mucosa.
The most important thing in the treatment is to use as much clean water as possible. For a quick recovery, the recommended norm is 2 liters of water, otherwise dehydration will occur. Water is important due to the fact that nausea and vomiting greatly cleanse the stomach, removing fluid and causing thinning of the walls of the organ. To get rid of the pain syndrome, in this case you need to take antispasmodics.
Medication
If the negative symptoms do not go away for a long time, then the patient begins a toxic lesion, which requires urgent medical attention. After a thorough diagnosis, the specialist will prescribe effective antimicrobial drugs. At the end of antibiotic therapy, a course of restoration of intestinal microflora is carried out to get rid of dysbiosis.
Start taking medications immediately after stool normalization. Drugs will improve digestion and restore the body as a whole.
In the presence of vomiting and diarrhea, when the temperature rises at the same time and pain begins in the head, you should definitely seek help from a doctor. Before the doctor arrives, to try to lower the temperature, you should take "Aspirin", "Paracetamol", "Analgin", "Citramon" or "Indomethacin". With diarrhea, the following remedies are good: Diclofenac and Levomycetin.
Body recovery
After getting rid of the main cause of malaise, the attending physician advises patients to follow a diet for some time. In the first days of treatment, it is best to use the following products:
- boiled rice;
- oatmeal;
- rosehip broth;
- lean rusks;
- strong tea without sugar;
- dried fruits compote.
There are a number of products that are strictly forbidden to be taken after recovery:
- smoked meats;
- meat;
- fresh fruits and vegetables;
- salty and fatty foods;
- sweets and pastries;
- dairy products;
- pizza and fast food.
If diarrhea is combined with other unpleasant symptoms, then many foods should be excluded.
On the second day, porridge or vegetables should be boiled. You can start eating the usual food only on the third day. It is also additionally recommended at this time to take enzyme-containing products.
To restore a person’s condition will help a decoction of chamomile or oak bark. Such remedies eliminate inflammatory processes.
Patient diagnosis
If bile and blood is present in feces or vomiting, it is important to consult a doctor - he will prescribe a test and, if necessary, send it to a narrow-profile specialist. To accurately determine the source of pain and the cause of the deterioration, the specialist should palpate and prescribe an ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity.
A proctologist will be able to determine the source of hemorrhage after a series of examinations. For this, rectoscopy is used, which allows you to diagnose the condition of the abdominal region. With the help of such an examination, the doctor determines the presence of cracks, hemorrhoidal nodes and various formations in the organ. When conducting a colonoscopy, an endoscopic examination is prescribed, which helps to determine all the ongoing pathological processes and dangerous changes in the intestine.
