Diarrhea, or as people call it, diarrhea, this state of the human body causes not only a general malaise, but also discomfort. Each person, at least once, experienced this ailment, could notice that very often diarrhea accompanies a specific odor from the mouth. I would like to understand what are the causes of its appearance and what must be done in order to get rid of it. Probably, it is not a secret for anybody that it can be provoked by various diseases of the digestive tract, but the very source that causes it is anaerobic bacteria.
Diarrhea disrupts the microflora in the digestive tract, and this leads to a significant increase in anaerobic bacteria. To propagate these pathogenic microorganisms, oxygen is not required. Bacteria secrete toxins and volatile sulfur in the process of their life, which provokes the appearance of bad breath. With diarrhea, getting rid of it can significantly reduce the number of these bacteria. The advice of specialists in this regard is as follows:
- If there is diarrhea with a smell from the mouth at the same time as rehydration, you should try to remove rinsing appearing in the mouth cavity, as it promotes the multiplication of microorganisms;
- It is necessary to exclude animal protein from the diet, as the bacteria of this species process its residues, which promotes their reproduction;
- At the tip of the tongue, you need to keep a small amount of salt. It will disinfect the oral cavity, stimulate abundant saliva formation and restore the salt balance disturbed by diarrhea;
- Rinse mouth with hydrogen peroxide solution. This will provide the cavity with oxygen, from which anaerobic bacteria die;
- For rinsing you can use broths of chamomile, dill or yarrow. These plants have antibacterial properties, which helps to reduce the number of pathogenic microorganisms by 80%, and also significantly reduce the odor from the mouth;
- If the unpleasant odor is associated only with diarrhea, you need to get rid of the cause that caused it, and also start to follow a strict diet, so as not to provoke its aggravation;
- After receiving a specialist's consultation, it is necessary to start medical treatment.
There are also additional measures that contribute to reducing the odor in the mouth. It is necessary to increase the amount of fluid consumed, and at the same time regularly do rinsing and spitting, so that as much as possible microorganisms get into the digestive tract, which provoke further development of diarrhea and the appearance of an unpleasant odor.
