Diarrhea is a condition when bowel peristaltic movement is faster than usual so that the expenditure of defecation is more dilute and more frequent. Usually diarrhea is not an emergency disease unless it leads to dehydration and ultimately hypovolemic shock (the body drops from lack of fluids).


Cause
This can happen because of food poisoning, the presence of germ infections, stress of mind, and many other factors. This disease usually heal itself because in fact the diarrhea itself is the body's mechanism to get rid of toxins and germs that exist in the intestine. In young children, the cause of most diarrhea is due to the virus so it can heal by itself. But because of the amount of wasted body fluids, patients should drink plenty of fluids and anti-diarrhea medications if the disease is already interfere with daily activities. For cases of prolonged diarrhea (more than 2 weeks) there may be other underlying diseases, such as HIV / AIDS, cancer of the gastrointestinal tract.

Symptoms
Keep in mind when diarrhea becomes worse.

The presence of signs of dehydration such as thick and yellow urine, frequency of urination less than 4 times per day, fever, sunken eyes, dry skin. In children the characteristics of dehydration are: crying but not tears, fussy children (on moderate dehydration) or even weakness (in severe dehydration children), wanting to drink a lot (in moderate dehydration) or even lazy to drink (in severe dehydration)

Diarrhea persists over 2 weeks
Cramps
Stomach ache
Bloated
Nausea
Fever
Gag
Diarrhea usually goes away on its own within 48 hours without medication. The most important thing to do is to stay hydrated while diarrhea goes just as it is and avoid foods that will make diarrhea more like spicy foods, fibrous foods

Diarrhea is considered severe when:

Takes place over 2 weeks
Severe stomach cramps or anal pain
Blood in the stool
The stool is black
The presence of fever
The presence of signs of dehydration
Symptoms of this disease can be signs of conditions such as infection, irritable bowel disease, pancreatitis, colon cancer, or decreased immune conditions for example in HIV / AIDS patients.

Treatment

Overcome dehydration with oralit or drink plenty of water in large quantities. If followed by nausea and vomiting, the drink certainly can not enter, but the water intake (hydration) is very important to prevent dehydration. So, immediately go to the doctor to be given intravenous fluids (infusion).

In addition, there are several types of treatment include:

Drugs to bind water so that the stool is more dense, such as attalpulgit drugs
Medications to stop intestinal peristaltic such as papaverine or antiparasimpatik
Antibiotics or antiparasit when found stool examination results in the presence of bacterial infections or parasitic infections such as amoeba (Dr. Ursula)
