How To Treat Shigella Infections

Replace Salt And Fluids

One of the health hazards of a Shigella infection is diarrhea and vomiting. Diarrhea and vomiting cause the individual to lose too much salt and fluids, which need to be replaced. A patient may have lost too much sodium or fluids if they experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, or muscle cramps in addition to the symptoms of a Shigella bacterial infection. Thankfully, patients can replace salt and fluids in the body by adding additional sodium to their foods and drinking specific drinks with electrolytes (often called rehydration solutions). But if the low sodium symptoms continue, a doctor’s visit is necessary to prevent more serious health consequences. Drinking beverages with electrolytes also increase the hydration levels in the body and keep an individual with a Shigella infection from becoming dehydrated.
