How to relieve gastroenteritis in pregnant women

Gastroenteritis is a very scary thing for web editors. Friends who have gastroenteritis usually suffer from unbearable abdominal pain and endless pain. Pregnant women have greater work pressure than ordinary people, and some pregnant women will suffer from gastroenteritis during pregnancy. So, what should pregnant women do if they have gastroenteritis? Next, the editor will explain these aspects in detail for everyone.

1. Avoid eating. You can try to skip one or two meals to allow your stomach and intestines to rest and expel the unclean things you have eaten (which may be food, medicine, bacteria or viruses) out of your body as soon as possible through diarrhea. Generally, the vomiting will subside first, and you may continue to feel a little nauseous and have upper abdominal discomfort.

2. Eat small meals. After that, you can eat a small amount of white rice porridge, white bread and other non-greasy foods or fruits to prevent low blood sugar levels from causing cold sweats and fainting.

3. Replenish water. If severe diarrhea causes a large loss of water and electrolytes, causing dizziness and weakness, drinking sports drinks will improve the discomfort. The amount to drink depends on the severity of the diarrhea.

4. Do not get injections or take medicines casually. If severe acute enteritis occurs, you can take appropriate medications according to the doctor's instructions to relieve the symptoms. If you have a fever, bloody diarrhea, or suspect infectious enteritis, do not take antidiarrheal drugs on your own to prevent the condition from worsening.

Unless pregnant women are infected with cholera or in shock, unconscious, severely vomiting and unable to eat, it is not recommended for them to go to the hospital for an IV drip.

5. Do not take antibiotics. Oral antibiotics are only used in rare cases of severe infectious enteritis and diarrhea during travel, because most cases of acute enteritis, even bacterial infections, will heal and there is no need to take such drugs.

The above is some of the content that the editor has introduced in detail to everyone about what to do if a pregnant woman has gastroenteritis. After listening to the editor’s detailed introduction, do you still have any doubts about these aspects? Generally speaking, gastroenteritis is caused by congenital genetic inheritance on the one hand and by careless lifestyle on the other. Therefore, it is important to cultivate a good lifestyle.
