Do you need an IV for a stomach flu?
Whether to administer intravenous fluids for a stomach flu primarily depends on the severity of the patient's condition. Stomach flu is usually caused by a respiratory virus infection, leading to symptoms predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract. Patients typically experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, without significant fever, coughing, or phlegm production. If the patient is severely nauseous and vomiting, losing a lot of body fluids, intravenous fluid therapy is necessary to avoid shock. However, if the symptoms are limited to diarrhea two to three times a day and mild abdominal pain, treatment can be managed with Chinese or Western medicine, as stomach flu is a self-limiting disease. Without medication, the condition can naturally improve within 7-10 days. Therefore, persistence through this period will generally lead to recovery.
Does early-stage lung cancer cause chest pain?
Early-stage lung cancer does not cause chest pain. Early-stage lung cancer actually refers to precancerous lesions or the very earliest stage of the disease. Generally, early-stage lung cancer occurs within the lung parenchyma or the airway lumen. Typically, there are no sensory nerves in the airway lumens or lung parenchyma, and without sensory nerve distribution, there won't be any pain. Of course, if the lung cancer grows to a certain extent and affects the pleura, it can cause chest pain because there are nerves, especially sensory nerves, distributed on the pleura. However, if it involves the pleura, it can no longer be called early-stage lung cancer, as it often indicates that the cancer has progressed to the middle or late stages. Therefore, generally speaking, early-stage lung cancer in the lung parenchyma absolutely does not cause chest pain, so there is no need to worry.
What to eat for the flu
Influenza, also known as the flu, occurs when humans lose resistance to the influenza virus and then get infected in the upper respiratory tract, manifesting mainly with symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and fever. Of course, the influenza virus can also cause nausea, vomiting, and even abdominal pain and diarrhea. Therefore, diet is very important during the flu season or for those who are infected with the flu. It is recommended that individuals with the flu, or those who have contracted it, should consume foods rich in vitamins, carbohydrates, and proteins, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, beans, lean meats, and fish, to boost resistance and promote the recovery of digestive functions.
Difference between Viral Pneumonia and COVID-19 Pneumonia
The differences between viral pneumonia and COVID-19 begin with their names. Viral pneumonia is a broad concept, referring to lung inflammation caused by any respiratory virus, whereas COVID-19 specifically refers to the pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus that emerged in 2019. Additionally, regarding symptoms, viral pneumonia can cause fever, cough, and sputum production, but rarely progresses to severe disease. On the other hand, treating COVID-19 is challenging as there are no specific drugs available, and a significant portion of patients may develop severe illness. Furthermore, in terms of prognosis, there are many vaccines available that provide protection against viral pneumonia, whereas, as of now, there is no vaccine available for COVID-19.
Is traditional Chinese medicine good for chronic bronchitis?
Chronic bronchitis primarily refers to a cough lasting more than two months per year and recurring for over two years; this condition is called chronic bronchitis. The occurrence of chronic bronchitis is usually related to long-term heavy smoking and exposure to polluted air. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has shown good effects in treating chronic bronchitis. Many elderly patients with chronic bronchitis, especially those who cannot take Western medicine or are allergic or have side effects, might consider trying Chinese herbal remedies. By taking Chinese medicine internally and using external methods, symptoms of chronic bronchitis can be well controlled. (Please use medication under the guidance of a physician.)
Is mycoplasma infection troublesome?
Mycoplasma is a type of microorganism that lies between bacteria and viruses. It is slightly smaller than bacteria but larger than viruses. Mycoplasma can easily infect our respiratory tract, reproductive system, and urinary system, leading to infections in the urogenital tract. Typically, the drugs used to treat mycoplasma infections include macrolides and quinolones, which are very effective against mycoplasma, and a three-week treatment can usually completely eradicate the infection. However, mycoplasma, especially when it infects the reproductive system, is a sexually transmitted disease. Therefore, in addition to treating the infection, it is also important to cut off the transmission route to avoid re-infection with mycoplasma, which could lead to a recurrence of the infection.
Bronchial asthma percussion presents what sound?
The sound of percussion in bronchial asthma mainly relates to the period of the attack and the different states of the disease. Generally, during the stable or non-acute phase of asthma, the percussion sound is typically dull. Of course, some patients, due to long-term poor control of asthma, may exhibit a hyperresonant percussion sound. However, during an acute asthma attack, due to a large amount of gas remaining in the lungs that cannot be exhaled, a hyperresonant percussion sound may occur. This situation generally indicates that the patient's condition is quite severe. Therefore, timely treatment should be provided, otherwise, the prolonged retention of gas in the lungs could lead to respiratory failure and even life-threatening complications.
Can people with bronchial asthma drink water?
Patients with bronchial asthma can certainly drink water, as water is the most basic substance for maintaining cellular metabolism and functional activities in the human body, also known as the source of life. Therefore, regardless of the disease, even in severe cases like heart failure or kidney failure, water intake is essential, though the amount must be controlled. At the same time, diuretic treatment or urination therapy should be administered. Bronchial asthma also needs to be considered based on its state. During the acute attack phase, due to significant dehydration in the respiratory tract, small mucus plugs can form. It is generally recommended that patients hydrate more during an asthma attack because the respiratory tract loses too much water. However, in the terminal stage of bronchial asthma, if complicated by cor pulmonale, the patient may experience edema. At this time, drinking water should be more cautious because excessive fluid intake can exacerbate heart failure. Of course, the amount of water depends greatly on the stage of the patient's condition.
How long does it take to recover from the flu?
Influenza, also known as the flu, is usually a respiratory disease caused by influenza virus infections in humans. It is characterized by being self-limiting, which means that patients can improve without treatment. The flu is no exception; it tends to be self-limiting but only in people with normal immune function. Typically, patients can recover on their own in about 7-10 days. However, for some specific populations like the elderly, children, pregnant women, or those with underlying diseases, the duration of the flu may be extended and may lead to severe complications.
Is the flu contagious?
Influenza refers to a disease characterized primarily by coughing, sputum production, sore throat, and fever, after the respiratory tract has been infected by the influenza virus. Additionally, influenza may present symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. The infectiousness of influenza is mainly transmitted through the inhalation of droplets from one person to another within a population. In China, influenza is a legally mandated Class B infectious disease, and is indeed contagious. Therefore, if you notice individuals around you with fever, cough, or sputum production who are suspected of having influenza, isolation should be implemented. Moreover, it is advisable to avoid crowded places to reduce the possibility of being infected by influenza. Furthermore, vaccination during the flu season is also an effective way to protect against influenza.
