The management of diarrhea in the household consists of the following three rules (the ABC of diarrhea):
1. DC supply,
2. Drink plenty,
3. Consultations.

CONTINUOUS POWER

Continuous feeding is not to interrupt the normal diet, eat more often to compensate for loss of appetite, add one or two teaspoons of vegetable oil to food to provide energy, not introducing new foods as long as diarrhea, only to avoid very concentrated or highly spiced and sweetened. Keeping food during diarrhea, accelerates the normalization of bowel function, including digestion and absorption of food. It also favors the hydration of the patient to provide water carriers for intestinal absorption and offset the loss by diarrhea.

DRINK ABUNDANT

To avoid dehydration are effective food-based fluids, such as rice, carrot soup, lentil or potato, the defatted broth or bouillon, fresh fruit juice, green coconut water, tea and soft all of them in common use in the home. Even plain water, supplemented foods may be useful while getting other fluids.

The most effective liquid is the “Oral Serum or sports drinks with ions, which serves both to prevent and to treat dehydration. It provides patient-half to one cup, or anything that accepts after each diarrhea stool, sipping a teaspoon or so they do not vomit, if vomiting occurs, you will be slower until it stops throwing up. There are trade-flavored oral whey concentrate in sachets to be diluted in a liter of water.

The diet should be to remove “absolutely” dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) for 15 days.

TIMELY REFER TO PHYSICIAN

The consultation is timely medical attention is sought as soon as you see any sign of danger, as many liquid stools, very little fluid and food intake, frequent vomiting, persistent high fever or blood in stool.

Oral serum treatment for diarrhea not but help reduce vomiting and keep the patient hydrated, thereby enhancing their appetite and overall, the cure diarrhea 3 to 5 days.

If it persists should make a study of blood and stool cultures to rule out other processes. They should never be given drugs to “stop” to remove diarrhea or vomiting, as none is useful and some are dangerous because they cause intestinal paralysis or numbness of the patient can even be lethal, especially in young children.

Only in some cases of bloody diarrhea or other complications when they occur, may be indicated in antibiotic use, but only under prescription.
