Maintain proper hygiene practices to prevent gastroenteritis
 
It is a blessing to have family and friends gathering around the dinner table. However, if you are not cautious about food hygiene, you will be at risk of acquiring gastroenteritis. Therefore, it is important to wash and cook food properly and maintain good personal, food and environmental hygiene to prevent gastroenteritis.

Gastroenteritis can be caused by bacterial, viral or toxin infection. Its typical symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Patients with severe bacterial gastroenteritis may even experience bloody diarrhoea. Significant or persistent vomiting and diarrhoea may result in dehydration. In extreme situation, it may lead to confusion and unconsciousness. If gastroenteritis symptoms persist for several days or bloody diarrhoea occurs, patients should seek medical advice as soon as possible, said Dr Lee Ting-lam Edwin, Consultant in Gastroenterology & Hepatology at Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong.

保持良好的衞生習慣 預防腸胃炎
 
與家人朋友食飯相聚是一件樂事,然而,稍一不慎進食不潔的食物,就有機會感染腸胃炎。因此,我們必須妥善清洗及烹調食材,保持良好個人、食物和環境衞生,預防腸胃炎。

腸胃炎可以因受到細菌、病毒、或毒素感染而引致。腸胃炎一般會出現嘔吐、腹瀉、腹痛等症狀,而感染嚴重細菌性腸胃炎的患者甚至會瀉血。腸胃炎患者可能因上吐下瀉而導致脫水,嚴重時更可能出現神智不清、昏迷等情況。港怡醫院腸胃肝臟科顧問醫生李亭林醫生表示,腸胃炎症狀已維持數天或出現瀉血情況時,患者應儘快求醫並接受治療。


🔎請即觀看短片,由李亭林醫生解說腸胃炎的成因、治療方法及注意事項。
