Poisoning. Treatment and first aid

Toxins and toxic substances, getting into the body, cause poisoning. Treatment should begin with an immediate call of an ambulance, as the causes of excruciating malaise can be quite serious diseases. Similar symptoms are present in meningitis, appendicitis and pneumonia.

The first signs can appear quite quickly, but sometimes the incubation period lasts several hours and even a few days. If poisoning is present, treatment should be started immediately. It is especially important not to take self-medications, activated carbon, manganese and antibiotics. Do not lower the temperature if it does not rise above thirty-eight degrees. This is a natural reaction of the organism, fighting with attacking microbes. The use of antipyretic drugs is necessary only in the case of a strong temperature increase or if its sudden change is accompanied by convulsions.

Actions for poisoning should be as follows: immediate assistance and a competent approach. Help the victim to remove the poisons, and for this purge the stomach. Let him drink as much warm boiled water as possible. The most natural process for purification from toxic products and microbes is vomiting. If it does not arise by itself, enter your fingers in the throat of the affected person and click on the root of the tongue.

Next, you should clean up the intestines with sorbents. They contribute to the binding and rapid removal of viruses, toxins and poisons poisoning the body. The main thing is not to combine their reception with other medicines and food. If the patient feels normal, the next steps for poisoning will be to normalize the digestive functions. Here the preparation "Pancreatin", "Creon" and "Mezim forte" will help .

It is known that in intestinal infections the body loses large amounts of water, and with it important substances vital for its normal functioning are also derived. These are salts of chlorine, potassium and sodium, providing good work of cardiovascular and excretory systems, kidneys and brain. Treatment of poisoning is also in compensation for the loss of salts. Give the patient a solution of the drug "Regidron", as well as special glucose-saline solutions for sedimentation. It is best to buy them in advance in the pharmacy and always keep at hand. They include extracts of medicinal herbs and other phytocomponents, which reduce stomach and intestinal cramps , relieve inflammation and alleviate the condition of the patient as a whole.

If there is a sudden poisoning, treatment can be carried out and with the help of a self-made solution. It will take half a kilogram of purified carrots and one hundred grams of raisins. Boil them in a liter of water, add a spoonful of salt, half a spoonful of baking soda and at least five tablespoons of granulated sugar. Be sure to bring to a boil and strain. Home glucose-saline medicinal solution can be used. It is better to prepare at once not less than three liters, since the fluid loss is quite high.

In viral diarrhea, the outcome of the entire disease depends on the degree of dehydration. Therefore, as soon as a poisoning occurred, the treatment should include the intake of the sugar-salt solution. No time for a long cooking, just add to the boiled water eight tablespoons of sugar, a spoonful of soda and salt. This temporary measure will significantly ease the patient's condition and speed up the recovery process.

Treatment of poisoning at home can be done only with mild discomfort. In all other cases immediate medical attention is required. Especially if the poisoning arose after consuming poor quality alcohol, mushrooms, canned food, medicines, toxins and deadly poisons.
