In summer, it is easy for people to get diarrhea, as the food is easily polluted by the bacteria and mosquito. Many people do not care much about diarrhea and they think diarrhea is just a kind of small disease. Just because of such an opinion, there are many errors during the process of treating diarrhea by many people. 

The first error is to take pain killer immediately after diarrhea appears and stomachache starts. However, according to the medical experts, such a kind of behavior is totally wrong. As the early symptoms of appendicitis is rather similar to those of diarrhea. The blind use of pain killer is greatly possible to hide the patient’s condition, which can delay the treatment of the appendicitis.

The second error is to take anti-inflammatory to conduct disinfection and stop diarrhea. Many people think that diarrhea is caused by the virus and bacteria. It is effective to stop diarrhea by killing the virus and bacteria by taking anti-inflammatory. But, as a kind of antibiotic drug, anti-inflammatory can only be taken when the human body is really infected. If people use anti-inflammatory to treat diarrhea, many ill effects can be caused, such as the damage of the liver functions.

It is also an error to take anti-diarrheal immediately after diarrhea begins. The premature use of anti-diarrheal will destroy the balance of the human drainage and plug up the toxins discharged by diarrhea inside the human body. These toxins will destroy the intestinal functions. Therefore, it is time for people to go to hospital if diarrhea lasts for three days without any improvement.

The fourth error is to drink lots of water instead of having dinner. Many people think that it is a kind of waste to eat something during having diarrhea, as what to eat is what to discharge from the body. In fact, it is important to insisting in having dinner during the process of diarrhea, as the nutrition supplementation from the food is beneficial to the recovery of intestinal functions. At the early days of diarrhea, the patients should drink light rice soup with some pickles. When diarrhea is improved, fluid foods like noodles are suitable to eat. Even diarrhea stops, foods containing too much oil should not be eaten in seven days. At the same time, there is no need to drink lots of water. You can put some salt and sugar in plain boiled water so as to supplement the nutrients like potassium and sodium lost by diarrhea.
