TREATMENT
The main objective of acute diarrhea have been assured that patients are adequately hydrated, because a significant amount of fluid can be lost. This fluid loss is the principal mechanism of dying from acute diarrhea in patients. When you have moderate or severe diarrhea, this is often achieved with a saline solution or another suitable solution, which is given the IV line. mild diarrhea, it is often reasonable to reassure patients, to ensure adequate fluid intake, and wait. Children in developing countries, the World Health Organization recommends a solution of zinc supplementation and oral re-hydration to treat diarrhea.
RE-HYDRATION
In most cases, acute diarrhea, fluids and electrolytes are the main treatments. If the patient is otherwise healthy and not dry, adequate oral intake can be achieved by soft drinks, fruit juices, broth, soups and salted crackers. These excessive fluid loss and dehydration, more aggressive, such as IV fluids or oral re-hydration therapy with isotonic electrolyte solutions containing glucose or starch should be initiated. Oral re-hydration therapy is less expensive and often less effective and more convenient than intravenous fluids. Different oral re-hydration solutions are available Pedialyte, Re-hydralyte, Ricelyte (Infalyte), Resolute, World Health Organization formula, and then reduced osmolarity formula for children.
A mixture can we made in home just as effective as same , salt half tea spoon (3.5 g) ,1 tsp baking powder (2.5 g NaHCO3), 8 tsp sugar (40 g) and 8 oz orange juice (1.5 g KCl), diluted to 1 L with water. Fluids should be given at rates of 50-200 ml/kg/24 h, depending on the state of hydration. IV fluids (e.g. Ringer's lactate solution) is preferred for patients with severe acute dehydration and for those who can not tolerate oral fluids.
DIET
Total food abstinence is unnecessary and not recommended. Foods provide calories needed to facilitate the renewal of the enterocytes. Patients should be encouraged to take frequent feedings of fruit drinks, tea, flat carbonated beverages, and soft, easily digestible foods such as bananas, apples, rice, potatoes, pasta, biscuits, toast, and soup. Dairy products should be avoided because transient lactase deficiency can cause gastrointestinal, viral and bacterial infections. beverages containing caffeine and alcohol, which can increase bowel movement, and fluids should be avoided.
MEDICATIONS
Parasites (worms and amoeba) should always be treated as medicine.
Loperamide may reduce diarrhea in patients with Shigella , but not in patients with diarrhea due to E. enterotoxigenic E. coli traveler. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials have shown that loperamide may affect children under three years. A randomized controlled trial showed that racecadotril, an enkephalinase inhibitor, can reduce the amount of watery diarrhea. Norfloxacin may reduce the duration of acute diarrhea caused by bacterial pathogens. However, norfloxacin prolong infectivity in patients with resistant Salmonella and Campylobacter cause.
COMPLICATIONS
Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance (abnormal amounts of sodium, potassium, acid in the blood)
Weight loss.
