Symptoms of gastroenteritis

summary

Gastroenteritis is the most common gastrointestinal disease. Many people eat it. Before, I suffered from this disease because I didn't pay attention to my usual diet. But I'm not reconciled. I'm still young, which has a great impact on my life and health. Let's take a look at the symptoms of gastroenteritis.

Symptoms of gastroenteritis

Symptom 1: the type and severity of gastroenteritis depend on the type and quantity of microorganism or poison. The most common symptom is diarrhea. Other symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, weight loss (possibly signs of dehydration), excessive sweating, cold and wet skin, muscle pain or joint stiffness, fecal incontinence, etc.

Symptom 2: severe vomiting and diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration, which is characterized by weakness, extreme thirst, oliguria or deepening of urine color, dry skin, dry mouth, and eyeball depression. Infants can also show less tears when crying. Severe vomiting or diarrhea can cause hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypotension, etc. These are typical symptoms, as long as we have a certain understanding, we can find the disease in time.

Symptom 3: patients who drink a large amount of water with little or no salt to supplement liquid are especially prone to hyponatremia. There is a potential risk of water and electrolyte disorders, especially in critically ill, frail, young or elderly patients. Shock and renal failure can occur in severe cases.

matters needing attention

Melons and fruits must be repeatedly rinsed with water before eating. All peelable fruits should be peeled before eating, mainly pesticide residues, which can easily lead to poisoning, and then develop into gastroenteritis, which should be paid attention to in daily diet.
