Question
After recent dining out, there might be gastrointestinal discomfort due to long periods without eating out or poor restaurant hygiene conditions, accompanied by diarrhea symptoms and frequent trips to the bathroom. In this situation, how should one choose medication treatment? Is it suitable to use rapid-acting antidiarrheal medications?
Answer
If diarrhea is accompanied by fever, it is often caused by enteritis. At this time, consider taking anti-inflammatory drugs and digestive aids for treatment. Children may develop acute enteritis due to improper diet, leading to diarrhea and fever. It is recommended to first apply heat therapy for inflammation relief, and in daily life, consume more warm, easily digestible foods, increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, reduce staying up late, and strengthen physical exercise to enhance resistance.
