Patient's question:
I had a bowel movement four or five times a day, each time with a discharge like mucus. I didn't go to the hospital, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Gastroenteritis is the inflammation of the gastric and intestinal mucosa, caused by food poisoning. Symptoms include: severe dry heaving and nausea with vomiting, often accompanied by intense abdominal pain and cramping, fever, and sweating. General treatment: Rest as much as possible while lying down, and take oral glucose-electrolyte solutions to replenish lost fluids. Intravenous fluids and symptomatic treatment are required, along with antibiotic treatment. During treatment, avoid cold and hard foods, and stick to a semi-liquid diet. Gastroenteritis can be very serious, so patients are advised to seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for symptomatic care. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
