Here is how to treat and prevent diarrhea during Tet so that you and your family can welcome the new year safely and fully.

nurse Nguyen Thi Phuong - Vietlife General Clinic (Hanoi) said that diarrhea is a digestive disease caused by viruses or bacteria. The disease can occur in any subject, at any time, but the Lunar New Year is the time when cases increase.

The reason is that food during Tet may not be hygienic. Many families keep raw materials, cooked foods, fresh vegetables, fruits... together in the refrigerator, causing bacteria to grow. Reversed eating habits during Tet, eating too many processed foods, candy, fast food, and carbonated drinks are also factors that cause diarrhea.

nurse Phuong said that diarrhea is divided into 3 levels: Mild diarrhea, moderate diarrhea, severe diarrhea.

For severe diarrhea, the patient will have diarrhea many times, dehydration, fatigue, many people will have symptoms of poor eyes, wrinkles, vomiting, thirst, low blood pressure... if not treated promptly, it can lead to death.

The female nurse offers specific treatments for diarrhea as follows: The first principle when treating diarrhea during Tet is to supplement enough water to compensate for the amount of water lost due to diarrhea. Because if not supplemented with water and electrolytes quickly, the patient will easily become exhausted and affect their life.

It is recommended that you should not arbitrarily use diarrhea control pills, instead, supplement water, electrolytes, eat diluted congee, limit eating greasy foods, processed foods.

People with diarrhea can use conventional digestive enzymes, probiotics. Eat and drink cleanly, wash your hands before eating and after going to the toilet. The food left in the refrigerator for a long time must be boiled, preheated, ensured to cook, drink boiled, and be dewormed every 6 months. In addition, do not let your body get cold.

For cases of severe diarrhea that lasts for many days, they need to be hospitalized for examination and monitoring. The doctor will test and ultrasound to find timely treatment methods.

According to nurse Phuong, disease prevention is better than disease treatment. Therefore, people should pay attention to preventing diarrhea during Tet by taking measures such as: Eating cooked and drinking boiled water; ensuring the choice of clean, safe food; cleaning hands and cooking utensils before eating and processing food...
