Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. My stomach has been, sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but then it came back again. Please ask about the treatment methods and approaches for dysentery.Doctor's answer:
Dysentery is an intestinal infectious disease caused by Shigella bacteria, primarily characterized by abdominal pain, tenesmus, frequent purulent bloody stools, and frequent defecation. General treatment includes bed rest and gastrointestinal isolation. Provide easily digestible, high-calorie, and high-vitamin diet. For high fever, abdominal pain, and dehydration, administer antipyretics, anticonvulsants, oral salted rice soup, or oral rehydration salts. Identify the triggers and provide symptomatic treatment. Avoid overexertion, do not let the abdomen get cold, and avoid eating raw and cold food.
