Symptoms and treatment of infantile enteritis

Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are the main symptoms of enteritis. Why does enteritis cause vomiting and diarrhea? This is produced by nerve reflex.

Enteritis, due to bacteria, toxins or gastrointestinal mucosa inflammation, stimulate the digestive tract receptors, impulse into the medulla oblongata vomiting center, cause vomiting center excited, through the efferent nerve to the stomach, diaphragm, respiratory muscle, abdominal muscle and pharynx, palate, epiglottis and other places, cause a series of coordinated movement, and form the vomiting action. At the same time, due to the inflammatory stimulation of the intestinal mucosa, the contents of the intestine increase, which directly or reflexively leads to the enhancement of intestinal peristalsis and the decrease of absorption function, resulting in diarrhea.

Because vomiting and diarrhea have a certain protective effect on human body under certain circumstances, different measures should be taken according to different situations, such as food poisoning or taking poisons by mistake. Not only antidiarrheal drugs should not be given, on the contrary, emetic and purgative drugs should be given to promote the discharge of poisons. If vomiting and diarrhea are caused by digestive tract inflammation, in order to reduce the adverse effects of water and salt metabolism and electrolyte imbalance on the body, antiemetic and antidiarrheal treatment should be given at the same time of active treatment.
