Diarrhea and temperature in adults. Causes and first aid

Diarrhea and fever are very frequent in adults. They can indicate various diseases and abnormalities in the digestive system. If you experience diarrhea accompanied by fever and / or vomiting, this article will be helpful in finding the cause of diarrhea.

Poisoning

Most often diarrhea and fever occur during poisoning. Intoxication of the body occurs 1-12 hours after the use of a poor-quality product. If you feel weak, your stomach or stomach hurts, the thermometer shows a temperature of 37-37.5 degrees, then it speaks of poisoning. If the symptoms are accompanied by severe vomiting and loss of consciousness, then you need to urgently call an ambulance. This condition threatens dehydration, which can lead to death. This problem is especially acute in children.

Intestinal disorder, pancreatitis

A little less often nausea, diarrhea, fever are signs of intestinal frustration or inflammation of the pancreas. The cause of this is malnutrition, long hunger (diet), the use of poor-quality food or a large amount of food eaten. The temperature rises to a maximum of 38 degrees, there is nausea, loss of appetite and diarrhea. In this case, you need to drink more liquids, refrain from eating for a day, then use only light food (chicken broth, cereals, homemade croutons). Also you need to buy a drug with the content of enzymes ("Pancreatin", "Microzyme", "Creon"). If the condition does not improve, consult a specialist for assistance.

Rotavirus infection

Rotavirus infection (the so-called "intestinal flu") affects the digestive system. Symptoms include high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite. Diarrhea is strong - up to 20 times a day, feces watery, has a yellow tint. Vomiting can be multiple, and maybe even single. There is also a runny nose, a sore throat. Special treatment does not require rotavirus. You need to drink more, if vomiting is constant, then at least a tablespoon of water every 10 minutes. It is important not to dehydrate the body. Diarrhea will be well helped by Enterofuril, Smecta and Lineks. These drugs can be taken in combination with each other.

Intestinal infection of bacterial origin

Diarrhea and temperature can be observed with bacterial infection. It includes salmonella, staphylococcus, dysentery. The temperature rises to 40 and above degrees, it is difficult to knock it down. Diarrhea is multiple, green, there may be blood streaks. Intestinal infection must be cured in a short time and must be in the hospital, which excludes the risk of infection of people living in the same room with the patient. It will take a course of antibiotics with the subsequent restoration of the intestinal microflora.

These are the main causes that cause diarrhea and fever. With a mild manifestation of symptoms, you will need a copious drink, activated charcoal or antibiotic "Levomycetin". If you get worse, call an ambulance or a local doctor. Especially it concerns children. Remember that diarrhea and fever, much less vomiting, take a lot of fluids out of the body. If it is not filled in time, then dehydration will follow, which can lead to very sad consequences.
