Rotavirus infection - intestinal disease,which almost always affects children. Adults, by virtue of their immunity and higher acidity of the gastric juice, if they get sick, they easily transmit the infection. However, children, especially of younger preschool age, often get to the hospital because of this disease and cannot be discharged from it for a long time, since rotavirus, besides everything, tends to worsen several times. That is why it is very important that a person with a diagnosis of “roto-viral infection” receive proper and adequate treatment from the very beginning.
The disease develops in 1-5 days aftervirus infection. He gets to the man mainly through dirty hands. Roto-viral infection how is it transmitted? A sick child or adult actively secretes a virus with saliva, feces, urine. Infection usually occurs when eating food from a common dish with a sick person, when the children, without washing their hands and playing with toys alone with the sick child, go on eating. The virus spreads through the water, milk. There are also cases of carriage of infection by adults: a person remains healthy, while a roto-viral infection is transmitted to another. Treatment, of course, is not carried out, because the carrier does not know about his disease.
How does rotavirus infection manifest?
Usually, catarrhal symptoms appear first: runny nose, small cough, sore throat. Then the roto-viral infection symptoms manifest as follows:
- high temperature, which is very difficult to reduce antipyretic;
- vomiting;
-poonos: stool becomes liquid, frequent, the frequency of bowel movements can reach 20 or more times;
- the nature of the chair: liquid, light brown or dark brown, foamy, with an unpleasant smell, there is usually no blood and mucus.
1) у одних ведущим симптомом является высокая temperature, and in order to reduce it, you need to apply physical methods of cooling and combinations of various antipyretic with antispasmodics (for example, the preparations Nurofen and No-spa in the age dosage);
2) in others, diarrhea and vomiting quickly lead to dehydration, and it is often possible to make up for fluid loss only with the help of droppers;
3) третьи страдают от ацетонемического состояния, when the body spends all the glucose to fight the disease, and to maintain the processes of vital activity, it begins to utilize the fat, as a result ketone (acetone) bodies are formed, poisoning the central nervous system, causing invincible vomiting and abdominal pain.
Roto-viral infection: treatment of uncomplicated forms
- Drugs are used to fight the virus.interferon: for children, these are laferon or viferon in candlelight at an age dosage; You can also use the tool "Lipoferon", which is taken orally.
- Sorbents: "Smekta" and "White Coal" - for young children, for older children - "White Coal", "Atoksil" or "Enterosgel" in age dosages.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Диета в острый период.Rice decoction, rice porridge with almost no salt, not in meat broth, almost without butter, vegetarian soups, a small piece of banana, jelly from not sour berries, weak black tea almost without sugar, crackers, crackers. Dairy products, coffee, cocoa, cakes, sweets, fried, smoked, spicy foods - exclude.
Therapy of complications is carried out together with the main treatment: sorbents, the drug "Viferon" are given in the same volume. The diet is the same.
1. Treatment for dehydration.It is necessary to give a drink to the patient, that is, to give him the volume of fluid he was given per kilogram of weight (for example, in children weighing 10 kg is 1 liter of fluid) plus fluid that a person has already lost with diarrhea and vomiting, plus that water that the patient continues to lose.
It is necessary to fill the fluid with solutions of “Oralit”, “Regidron” or similar, partially with tea or plain water. It is necessary to give a teaspoon every 10-15 minutes.
If the patient does not hold the liquid, or you notice that the urine volume has decreased, contact the hospital, where this volume will be returned intravenously, using droppers.
2The treatment of the acetonemic condition consists in the administration of solutions in the form of sweetened drink and electrolyte solutions. The calculation of the fluid being replenished is also considered: the fluid needed to maintain life, plus the water already lost with feces, temperature, vomiting, plus the volume that is lost. Due to the fact that an increased level of ketone bodies causes severe vomiting, it is often impossible to get a person drunk. Only intravenous fluid can help.
Если с момента домашнего лечения прошло 6-8 hours, and you see that the child gets worse, do not risk any longer - go to the hospital. If we are talking about the baby, and you should not wait at all - you need to call an ambulance immediately.
