Patient care
When poisoned, patients will throw up a
lot, which leads to water lack and exhaustion. For a good recovery, patients
and their family should take notice to:
·
Feed patients with soft and easily-digested foods
like gruel, soup…
·
Drink lots of water and drink a little each time.
·
Refuse drinks such as alcohol, beers, coffee.
·
Don’t drink tonic because it contains so much
sugar that can make the diarrhea worse.
·
After getting rid of the nausea, patients can
eat as normal. Note: eat little by little and divide necessary foods into
meals; stay away from greasy foods.
·
Do not take any anti-diarrhea medication for
poisoning treatment because it can worsen the situation.
·
The poisoned should rest and avoid heavy work
for the best recovery.
If you have been rested and had
home herbal treatments for 24 hours but it doesn’t get better, you should go to
the nearest hospital for professional help. Or, if patients have some symptoms
like convulsion, the skin color turns to pale, saliva a lot, sweating,
spasticity in arms and legs, bring them to the hospital right after they are
poisoned.
Patients could have no fever or have high fever that over 38
degrees.
Something you should know
The poisoning symptoms often appear after
several hours eating or drinking poisoned foods. The poisoned will have nausea
and vomit right away, also have stomachache, diarrhea for times. The patient
could have no fever or have high fever that over 38 degrees.
If patients throw up or have liquid poop
for over 5 times, the high fever will make the body suffer from severe
dehydration, which leads to other signs like lip dry, sunken eyes, thirst,
rapid pulse, exhaustion, body convulsion, urine is less and darker, their
family should make them drink more water, or Oresol to make up for the loss of
water and electrolysis. You can mix a teaspoon of salt with 4 teaspoons of
sugar and a liter of water for patients to drink. That can thin down the poison
in the body and minimize the risk.
Many people misunderstand that the poisoned
should fast and have a protein drip or eat gruel. In fact, patients can eat as
normal but foods have to be soft, at liquid state and easily-digested. Do not
let them be over-full to avoid digestive-system overloading while the digestive
system is still weak.
