Medical information for patients index search health books site map Diarrhoea and Vomiting Diarrhoea and vomiting often appear together, but may appear separately. Most times, although you feel terrible, there is little that a doctor can do for you, other than give advice similar to that below. For most intents and purposes the approach to the treatment is similar: Do Only drink clear fluids eg purpose-made electrolyte solutions, or "pop", such as lemonade. Start by just taking sips of fluid, and when the sickness subsides slowly build up the quantity. You may take anti-diarrhoea medications which can help the symptoms, but they do not cure you any quicker. Do not Do not eat until at least 24 hours after the last sickness or diarrhoea subsides. Do not drink milk, or drinks containing particles, as these take more digestion and irritate the bowel. Do not take any tablets for headache or fever until the vomiting subsides. Diarrhoea Diarrhoea involves frequent and loose motions. It is usually caused by inflammation of the large intestine, which is where the body removes most of the fluid from digested food. The major cause, in the context that we are referring to, is infection, but there are various other rarer causes which occasionally occur. If diarrhoea persists, and is not subsiding after a week, you should consult your doctor. If you have just got back form abroad and have diarrhoea it is wise to contact your doctor. Also it may be that you think it is due to a treatment you are taking from your doctor or dentist, and it is wise to consult your doctor immediately if this is the case.

Diarrhoea is the passing of increased amounts (more than 300g in 24 hours) of loose stools. It is often caused by a virus or bacteria and can be acute (short term) or chronic (long term) - lasting more than two to three weeks. Most people are affected by diarrhoea at some time in their lives. It is often accompanied by stomach pains, feeling sick and vomiting. It is usually due to consumption of drinking water contaminated with bacteria, undercooked meat and eggs or inadequate kitchen hygiene - in other words, an infection. Diarrhoea normally only lasts for a few days, but it can be very stressful when it occurs.

Think before you eat and drink as it is very easy to pick up a bout of diarrhoea while holidaying abroad. The most common cause of holiday or travellers' diarrhoea is the different types of virus and bacteria at the destination. The local drinking water in particular is an obvious source of risk in many places and should, therefore, be completely avoided. Replace it with water from previously unopened bottles for drinking as well as for cleaning teeth and making ice for drinks. Approximately 40 per cent of all cases of travellers' diarrhoea are due to infections with ETEC (enterotoxin-forming Escherichia coli bacteria). It is also possible to be infected with other and more specific and unpleasant bacteria and parasites, such as

Contents Next Page Previous Page Panel 10 ORS: The medical advance of the century During the 1980s, UNICEF launched the 'child survival and development revolution', concentrating its efforts on four potent methods of saving children's lives growth monitoring, breastfeeding, immunization, and the use of oral rehydration salts (ORS) the best way of combating the dehydration caused by diarrhoea. The British medical journal The Lancet has described ORS as "potentially the most important medical advance of this century." In the late 1970s, acute diarrhoea was killing around 5 million children each year. The obvious response to dehydration giving the child water to drink did not work because the liquid rushed through the digestive tract too quickly to be absorbed by the body tissues. The only answer seemed to be to bypass the digestive system altogether and rehydrate the body using an intravenous drip. This is an invasive and traumatic procedure for a child. And because it must be administered by someone with medical training, it is completely impractical for most episodes of childhood diarrhoea, which take place out of range of any kind of medical attention.
