Patient's question:
Hello, how to distinguish between dysentery and gastroenteritis? What are the differences between dysentery and gastroenteritis? Is dysentery more serious? If you have dysentery, what should you do? How to prevent dysentery and gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea often recurs with symptoms of bloody stools, accompanied by fever. This occurs because after the body metabolizes the toxins excreted by Shigella bacteria, it exhibits feverish symptoms. At the same time, it stimulates the intestinal mucosa, leading to the recurrence of bloody stools.Gastrointestinal-type colds are generally related to exposure to cold, which can cause injury and disrupt the metabolic function of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in mild nausea and vomiting.
