Best treatment for proventriculitis

In recent years, many infectious diseases related to poultry and livestock have broken out overseas in China, such as influenza, H1N1, H7N9, avian influenza, and atypical pneumonia. Many of these infectious diseases such as influenza are caused by not properly managing the hygiene of livestock and poultry, or by eating infected livestock and poultry. How should proventriculus disease be treated?

(1) Rest in bed and stop all diets and medications that are irritating to the stomach.

(2) Encourage drinking water. Since diarrhea and fever cause excessive water loss, patients should drink more water as much as possible to replenish lost water. It is better to use sugar and salt water (made by adding a small amount of sugar and salt to warm boiled water). Don't drink beverages high in sugar to prevent excessive acid production from aggravating abdominal pain.

(3) To relieve pain, you can use some painkillers. You can also apply partial heat to the abdomen to relieve pain (not necessary if you have gastric bleeding).

(4) For patients with diarrhea and fever, antibacterial drugs such as berberine and norfloxacin can be used appropriately. If the condition is mild, it is generally not necessary to avoid aggravating stomach irritation.

(5) If the diarrhea and fever are severe and the dehydration is obvious, the patient should be sent to the hospital immediately for intravenous drip treatment, and recovery will usually take 1-2 days.

(6) To prevent problems before they occur, limit alcohol consumption, avoid overeating or overdrinking, and use medications that may damage the gastric mucosa with caution or not at all. Subacute simple gastritis should be treated promptly, and relapses should be avoided during the recovery period to prevent it from turning into chronic gastritis and becoming difficult to cure.
