Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it got better for a while, but then it started again. What should I do about bacterial dysentery poisoning?Doctor's answer:
Toxic bacterial dysentery is primarily caused by consuming spoiled food, which leads to the excessive growth of Shigella bacteria in the intestines. The toxins produced are absorbed by the body, resulting in toxic bacterial dysentery. In treating this condition, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used first. For example, dexamethasone can be used to counteract the toxic symptoms. Then, anti-inflammatory drugs should be used to completely eliminate the Shigella bacteria from the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the symptoms of enteritis. Examples of such drugs include gentamicin and ofloxacin. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding the specific dosage and usage of these medications.
