Patient's question:
He had a fever, so he took fever-reducing medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine. Later, he started having diarrhea. It's unclear whether the diarrhea was caused by the anti-inflammatory medicine or if it was due to poor spleen and stomach health. He took Zhi Xie Bao Tong Granules and probiotics, but they didn't help much. He looked it up himself and found it might be dysentery, but he's not sure. He wants to ask here if it is dysentery and about past treatment and effectiveness: He has taken probiotics and Zhi Xie Bao Tong Granules. What help did they provide: Confirm if it is dysentery, and how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea is commonly bacterial in nature. It is an intestinal infectious disease caused by the Shigella genus (Shigella bacteria). The main clinical manifestations include chills, fever, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, tenesmus, and the discharge of mucoid purulent bloody stools. It is recommended to check how to discharge mucoid purulent bloody stools. If so, consider dysentery. Secondly, a stool routine test can be conducted. Personally, I believe that regardless of whether it is dysentery or enteritis, some anti-inflammatory drugs such as gentamicin granules can be added.
