Personal experience with symptoms and hospital visit due to enteritis

I caught my first-ever gastroenteritis and couldn't even guess what kind of illness it was.

I thought I would die from dehydration symptoms caused by diarrhea, so I came to the hospital feeling weak and collapsed.

Then, he was diagnosed with enteritis and prescribed medication, and after taking the medicine, he gradually started to recover.

 

Gastroenteritis is truly an unforgettable illness for me.

Gastroenteritis is, in a way, a very common disease, but I never caught it during my school days, so I didn't know what would happen if I did.

I was a diligent employee who never missed work due to illness, even while working.

That's why I caught gastroenteritis and missed my first day at work.

So, it still remains as a shocking memory.

Then, let me tell you about my bout of enteritis.

 

 

Gastroenteritis literally refers to inflammation of the intestines.

It occurs when the intestines are stimulated by viruses, bacteria, toxins, and the like.

 

 

In my case, these four symptoms appeared all at once.

First, my stomach was extremely, extremely painful.

I was in so much pain that I was sweating profusely.

And I had diarrhea every 10 minutes.

Even though only water is coming out, I kept receiving signals.

Of course, in the rectum, even if you drink water, it comes out 그대로.

I couldn't go, so I contacted them.

And I need to go to the hospital, but I just have no strength at all.

Since there was no one to help me, I just went on somehow.

 

At the hospital, I listened to my stomach sounds, felt my stomach, and discussed my symptoms, then they diagnosed it as enteritis and prescribed medication.

Interestingly, after taking the medication, the symptoms and diarrhea gradually stopped.

So, it took three days to return to my usual health condition.

 

No matter how much I think about it, I haven't eaten anything wrong, so why is that?

Looking back, I realized I drank grapefruit juice the day before.

My stomach was really burning after eating.

So, I stopped eating grapefruit after that day.

 

If you have severe stomach pain like mine and continuous diarrhea that won't stop, suspect gastroenteritis and definitely visit the hospital.
