Introduction

It is common to experience diarrhea in summer due to food-related stomach upset. In such cases, it is recommended to take montmorillonite powder as directed by a physician to alleviate symptoms. If the stomach upset is caused by intestinal flora imbalance, lactase tablets can be taken to regulate the microbial balance, inhibit pathogenic bacterial growth, and improve diarrhea. If the gastroenteritis is caused by a viral infection, the aforementioned symptoms may also occur, and oseltamivir phosphate capsules are recommended to relieve symptoms.

Diarrhea is very common during summer when one eats spoiled food. In such cases, it is recommended to take medications such as smectite powder, lactasin tablets, or oseltamivir phosphate capsules under medical guidance.

1. Smectite Powder

The main ingredient in this medication is smectite, which can absorb excess water in the intestines and protect the intestinal mucosa. It is used to treat diarrhea caused by various factors.

2. Lactasin Tablets

If the symptoms are due to intestinal flora imbalance, lactasin tablets can help restore normal bacterial balance, inhibit pathogenic bacteria growth, promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, and thereby improve diarrhea symptoms.

3. Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules

If unclean food leads to viral infection and enteritis, diarrhea may also occur. In such cases, oseltamivir phosphate capsules are recommended to inhibit viral replication and spread within the body, helping to relieve diarrhea.

After experiencing digestive issues from eating spoiled food in summer, patients should consult a doctor and choose appropriate treatment based on individual conditions. Additionally, avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods during recovery.

Can eating spoiled food cause fever?

Food that causes stomach upset without bacterial contamination usually disrupts gastrointestinal function but generally does not lead to fever, as it does not disturb the function of the body's temperature regulation center. However, if the food is contaminated with bacteria, the bacterial toxins may disrupt the function of the temperature regulation center or cause congestion of the gastrointestinal mucosa, damaging the body's immune cells and thereby inducing fever.
