The symptoms of toxic bacillary dysentery include gastrointestinal and systemic manifestations, and treatment methods involve medication, physical therapy, etc. Patients with toxic bacillary dysentery may experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, as well as systemic symptoms including fever, chills, seizures, and coma. The condition is acute and severe. For patients with high fever, physical cooling methods such as alcohol sponge baths can be used; antipyretic drugs such as ibuprofen or sodium diclofenac may be administered when necessary. Fluid and electrolyte imbalances caused by vomiting and diarrhea require timely rehydration. Prompt medical attention is essential for toxic bacillary dysentery to avoid delays in treatment.
