Infantile diarrhea medicine need to control symptoms

Diarrhea is a common disease symptoms of the summer, more than accidentally caused by the diet. Diarrhea with bowel movements by fast, mucosal exudation or secretion increased, intestinal flora imbalance and so on. Anti-diarrhea medicines can be divided into motility inhibitors (eg, diphenoxylate compound, easy to Mongolia stop), the convergence antidiarrheal agents (eg, tannic acid protein, sub-carbon acid bismuth), mucosal protective agents (Smecta), probiotics (such as bifico, stabilize the digestive system health), etc. Several types, in addition, activated carbon adsorption of toxins, etc., to reduce stimulation of the intestinal mucosa, which also has antidiarrheal effect.

 Treatment of diarrhea, whether or diarrhea according to the cause. Infectious diarrhea has divided and non-infectious and infectious diarrhea are caused by bacteria viruses, fungi, parasites and other pathogens cause, such as bacillary dysentery, bacterial food poisoning, viral enteritis, etc.; non-infectious diarrhea is common in cold, digestion bad, gastrointestinal disorders, and hyperthyroidism, diabetes, uremia and other systemic diseases. Infectious diarrhea is a reflection of human self-protection, so as to be excreted as part of bacteria and toxins to human good, if the blind diarrhea, the disease transferred to the contrary, negative. In principle, antidiarrheal medicine is only applicable to non-infectious diarrhea and infectious diarrhea in general do not have, especially in the acute stage, there are toxic symptoms (fever) was higher than obvious, pus and blood will be higher when the antidiarrheal agents should be considered an absolute taboo, to the recovery, the condition significantly improved stool without sepsis, but only the water more, they can take short-term antidiarrheal agents.

 Second, we should note that the mechanism of diarrhea, different drugs are also different. If it is growing fast due to peristalsis, such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, etc., should be preferred peristalsis inhibitors, to extend the residence time of intestinal contents, which will help absorb moisture and diarrhea; If it is the increase in intestinal secretion caused by diarrhea, such as cholera, bacterial food poisoning, you can choose an astringent, absorbent, by inhibiting intestinal secretion and absorption of harmful toxins play a role in diarrhea. If it is due to mucosal inflammation and ulceration leading to increased seepage caused by diarrhea, mucosal protective agents may choose to protect the mucous membrane, adsorption and remove bacteria, viruses and toxins. Due to gut microflora in infants caused by diarrhea and antibiotic-associated diarrhea, probiotics should be preferred, through the intestinal probiotic supplement to restore the ecological balance of the intestine, played adjustment of gastrointestinal function and antidiarrheal effect. Some diarrhea is not caused by one single factor, it is desirable that appropriate combination therapy.

 Third, the diarrhea is only a symptomatic treatment, the treatment is a fundamental cause. Diarrhea rehydration, therefore, while not ignore the primary disease treatment. If it is infectious diarrhea, antibiotic-sensitive infection control should be used, if it is indigestion caused by eating conditioning should start, if it is caused by gastrointestinal disorders, the choice of God neurological function regulation of plant drugs and sedatives, etc..

 Antidiarrheal agent overdose can cause abdominal distension, constipation, intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Infectious diarrhea taking antidiarrheal agents, can mask the disease, affecting doctors to diagnose. Bacillary dysentery patients taking antidiarrheal agents often affect the intestinal excretion of bacteria and toxins, so that sera aggravate the symptoms, course of disease extension. Acute ulcerative colitis with antidiarrheal agents, can induce toxic megacolon perforation. In addition, the compound diphenoxylate, codeine and other narcotic ingredients containing, long-term use can be addictive.
