Summer is coming. Eating popsicles and drinking iced drinks have become a kind of "enjoyment". However, the consequence of gluttony is diarrhea, so summer is also the season with high incidence of diarrhea. When you go to the hospital for treatment of diarrhea, the doctor will advise the patient to supplement physiological saline. Why?
Diarrhea will consume a lot of water and heat in the body, resulting in electrolyte imbalance such as low sodium and low potassium. In this case, the internal environment of the human body will be broken. The internal environment is the direct environment of cell life in the body through the dynamic organic connection of blood, tissue fluid and lymph. Although the human body has the ability to maintain the homeostasis, the homeostasis of the internal environment will be destroyed when the external environment changes too violently or the body's own regulatory function is blocked.
Among the various inorganic salt ions that make up the extracellular fluid, sodium ions and chloride ions account for a large proportion, while the main component of physiological saline is 0.9% sodium chloride solution. In case of diarrhea, physiological saline can well supplement the electrolyte lost by the body. In addition, the doctor will also advise diarrhea patients to drink sugar-saline water after returning home, which also has a very good auxiliary role in alleviating diarrhea.
In daily life, there are two things to pay attention to about diarrhea. The first point is that don't drink a lot of boiled water when you have diarrhea. A large amount of water will dilute human blood, and electrolyte cannot be replenished from boiled water, which will lead to more serious electrolyte disorder in the body, which may lead to convulsions, arrhythmia or coma, which is also one of the reasons for supplementing normal saline when diarrhea and dehydration. The second point is to eat when you have diarrhea. If the energy is not replenished in time at this time, diarrhea patients will have symptoms such as collapse. Of course, try to choose some light liquid foods such as noodle soup and rice soup.
Diarrhea can be divided into acute and chronic diarrhea according to the severity. Acute diarrhea has a sharp onset and the course of disease is within 2 to 3 weeks; The course of chronic diarrhea is usually recurrent diarrhea over 2 months or within 2 to 4 weeks. The causes of the two diseases are different. If you have diarrhea symptoms, don't take it lightly. You must go to the hospital in time.
