Prevention of Dysentery
Wash hands after using
the bathroom and regularly each day. If you've got the infection, you'll be able
to defend others around you by cleanup the hands regularly with cleaning soap
and fresh water, especially after using the bathroom, after changing diapers,
and before setting up food.
Avoid sharing towels and
other wearing cloths.
Keep contact with an
affected person to the very least and rinse the cloths of an infected person with warm water.
Wash the hands before eating or food preparation, handling kids and feeding
the illed persons.
Avoid drinking tap
water with poor sanitation systems.
When you have diarrhoea
and vomiting, it is rather important to
drink a lot of liquids especially water to
replace those lost and stop you getting dehydrated.
Diet - In the beginning the patient should fast as
long as the acute and severe symptoms can be found. Only orange juice or lemon
juice and drinking water should be taken during this time.
Dahi - Deshi curd -
Yogurt, Honey , Buttermilk with Rock Salt may be helpful.
