Treatment of vomiting and abdominal pain in adults and children

Pain in the abdomen and vomiting are just symptoms that indicate poor health and require medical consultation and examination, since only a particular disease can be treated, and not its manifestation.

However, in most cases, such symptoms are caused by various food poisoning or intestinal infections in a mild form, which we often cope with at home without contacting the doctor. So what if the stomach and vomiting hurts? It is better not to take risks, and if the patient does not get better within two to three hours, call an ambulance.

The patient must ensure peace, putting it so that the head was much higher than the body (semi-sitting position). He is not recommended to give anesthetics (so as not to distort the symptoms) and in no case put on the warmer on the stomach, you can put a cold compress. The same goes for folk methods of treatment. You can not before the ambulance wash your stomach or do an enema. Do not try to feed and drink. You can wet your lips or rinse your mouth with a strong thirst. If the pain is very severe, it is allowed to give the No-shpy pill and be sure to inform the doctor about it.

If necessary, the patient immediately undergo surgery, in doubtful cases, they will be placed for several days under observation in a surgical hospital. If severe pathologies are found, the patient is hospitalized in the appropriate department, in more mild cases, an outpatient treatment is prescribed.

Medications for abdominal pain and vomiting are prescribed depending on the diagnosis.

The main means for the treatment of intestinal infections (food poisoning) are rehydration solutions that allow replenishing the losses of water and electrolytes that occur during vomiting and diarrhea. The composition of solutions include sodium and potassium salts, sometimes - extracts of medicinal plants or herbal tea. In pharmacy solutions, a balanced composition of the necessary elements, dilute them according to the attached instructions. The temperature of the solution for admission should approximate the body temperature of the patient. For oral administration, you can use Regidron, Normogidron, Glucosolan, Citroglucosolan and others.

Enterosorbents are also used to neutralize microbial toxins, for example:

• Enterosgel, the main active ingredient of which is methyl silicic acid, absorbs toxic components from the stomach cavity, without affecting the beneficial components of the gastric flora (digestive enzymes).
• Polysorbent - a sorbent based on silica, working on removing toxic substances, not only contained in the gastrointestinal tract, but also due to their concentration and osmotic gradients, removes into the stomach toxins that circulate in the physiological fluids of the organism, binding them there and eliminating them.

Smecta is a function of the enterosorbent and the protector of the epithelial surface lining the digestive canal. As the active ingredient contains a double silicate of aluminum and magnesium stereometric structure. Protects the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract from the aggressive effects of toxic substances due to its high enveloping and binding ability.

Disturbed microflora of the gastrointestinal tract is reconstituted with probiotics Lactobacterin, Bifidobacterin.

Complex preparation Lactofiltrum with two active substances: sorbent - lignin hydrolysis, absorbing various toxins, as well as excess toxic products of metabolism; prebiotic lactulose, which normalizes the intestinal microflora, since it is a nutrient medium for lacto- and bifidobacteria, the reproduction of which inhibits the development of pathogenic microorganisms.

Antibiotics for intestinal infections are rarely prescribed, with cholera, dysentery and giardiasis, the presence of blood in the feces.

Diseases accompanied by abdominal pain and vomiting are numerous and in their treatment are used drugs of different groups - hepatoprotectors, restoring damaged liver cells (Essentiale, Phosphogliv, Resalute Pro), cholagogue (Tsikvalon, Ursofalk, Osalmid), drugs that have a complex effect - (Gepabene, Hofitol), enzymatic (Pancreatin, Festal), anticholinergic and antihistamines and many others depending on the established diagnosis.

The therapeutic scheme necessarily includes vitamins, because during the vomiting the body loses many useful substances, and with diseases of the digestive system, their absorption and production is impaired.

Physiotherapeutic procedures are used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the digestive organs, in the rehabilitation period after operations (drug electrophoresis, inductothermy, UHF, galvanization, electrosleep, mud therapy). For example, after surgery on the pancreas for acute pancreatitis, laser therapy proved to be well established.

Physiotherapeutic treatment is prescribed by the doctor individually, based on the diagnostic conclusion and contraindications.
