Giardia and the fight against them. How to get rid of Giardia. Additional therapies

Giardia settles in the human intestine, from where it can penetrate the liver and bile ducts. They are attached using special suction cups that help them move.

The most popular treatment for giardiasis is recognized in children. This is explained by the fact that children often put dirty hands in their mouths, use shared utensils, and play not only with domestic but also with street animals. Therefore, the most common cause of disease in children is poor personal hygiene. In adults, this cause is also considered not uncommon.

Prevention of giardiasis in adults and children is to follow the rules of personal hygiene, thoroughly wash your hands and drink only clean foods and purified water.

Effective treatment can be carried out in several ways at the same time, for example, herbs or pumpkin seeds along with medications. In most cases, due to the fact that the patient turns to a specialist already at an advanced stage of the disease, the mandatory use of medications and drugs to strengthen the immune system is required. Giardia treatment should be carried out equally carefully in both adults and children.

Giardiasis is a serious disease that can lead to negative consequences, so at its first manifestations it is worth starting treatment immediately. It can be carried out not only with medication, but also with the help of folk remedies.

Basic treatment regimen

It is necessary to stabilize the functioning of the intestines and prepare the body to take anthelmintic drugs. For 4-5 days, the patient is recommended to consume more protein, fermented milk products, and limit the amount of carbohydrates. You need to eat 5-6 times a day in small portions. Additionally, choleretic drugs are prescribed to reduce liver congestion and cholekinetics to relax the biliary tract.

Effect on Giardia

Depending on the severity of the disease and symptomatic severity, the doctor prescribes anthelmintic drugs, which are taken according to a certain regimen. The most commonly used are Tinidazole, Furazolidone, and Chloroquine. The second stage is the most difficult for the body. After 7-10 days, if there is no positive dynamics, the course of treatment may be re-prescribed. They may also additionally prescribe medications to support the liver.

At this stage, it is necessary to create conditions in the body under which lamblia cannot reproduce and spread. It is necessary to restore the functionality of the intestines and bile ducts. For this purpose, bacterial preparations (Bifidumbacterin, Acidophilus) and enzymatic preparations (Festal, Pancreatin) are used.

Note! During treatment, the patient should have frequent bowel movements. If necessary, additionally prescribe laxatives or an enema.

After completing therapy for 7 weeks, it is recommended to follow preventive measures and periodically take stool tests for the presence of worm eggs. If you control your diet, water balance and follow hygiene rules, then relapse can be avoided.

Features of treatment for children

About 40% of patients with helminthic infestation are children. This is due to the fact that they are more likely than adults to eat unwashed vegetables and fruits, come into contact with stray infected animals, and spend a lot of time playing on sand and soil that may be contaminated. How to get rid of Giardia forever for children?

Treatment in children is the same as in adults - the dosages of the drugs differ. They are determined by the doctor, taking into account the age and weight of the child. 2-4 weeks before starting to take anthelmintic drugs, exclude sweets, baked goods, fried foods and carbonated drinks from the children's diet. The menu should consist of cereal porridges, lean fish and soups, baked vegetables and fruits. After two weeks, a drug is prescribed. After completing drug therapy, children are prescribed medications to strengthen the body.

After starting medication, the child may experience a deterioration in his condition: increased body temperature, loss of strength, headache. This is often a normal reaction to the drugs. While taking them, you must constantly be under the supervision of a doctor. To relieve symptoms, laxatives and antihistamines are additionally prescribed.

Treatment with traditional recipes is not recommended as primary therapy. They should be used in combination at all stages of treatment of giardiasis. First, they help prepare the body for the effects of medications, in the second stage they protect the liver from their harmful effects, and in the third stage they restore immunity and the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

Many people ask how to get rid of Giardia at home in 1 day. Doctors say that this is practically impossible. For complete healing, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive treatment with medications and folk remedies, apply preventive measures and periodically undergo tests.

In combination with the main therapy, the following traditional medicines are used:

crushed pumpkin seeds. There are several ways to use them. Most often they are eaten raw, 2 teaspoons every day. This enhances the effect of medications and allows you to create conditions in the intestines under which Giardia dies. You can also prepare a honey-pumpkin infusion: 350 g of seeds, pour 50 ml of water, add 1 tablespoon of honey. The resulting mixture is consumed in small quantities on an empty stomach for 7 days;
tansy infusion is taken before meals, 300 ml for 4 days;
For 3 weeks during the treatment of giardiasis, it is recommended to drink an infusion of birch buds. It is necessary to boil 10 g of kidneys in 300 ml of water, strain the resulting liquid. The infusion is consumed in small portions throughout the day;
To prepare the rowan infusion you will need 300 ml of water and 3 tablespoons of berries. The drink needs to be boiled, cooled and strained. The finished liquid should be divided into three equal parts and drunk throughout the day. Course of therapy – 7-10 days;
Immortelle, cinquefoil, and mint also have anthelmintic properties. Teas and infusions are prepared on their basis.

Any drinks made from dry plants should be consumed fresh. Every day you need to brew a new infusion or tea. Herbal medicine significantly enhances the effect of many medications and helps strengthen the immune system.

Be careful! Many traditional medicines may be contraindicated for children. You should always consult a doctor before using them to avoid complications and unpleasant consequences. Treatment of giardiasis can already be difficult for children to tolerate, so they should choose medications to maintain and alleviate symptoms.

Giardiasis is a disease that, if diagnosed early, can be treated without relapse. To get rid of Giardia forever, you need to consider the following facts:

self-treatment of invasion cannot be effective;
The success of treatment depends on the correct medication. When prescribing therapy, the doctor must take into account the patient’s age, weight, symptomatic severity, severity and extent of the disease;
you need to follow the stages of anthelmintic therapy, do not start taking medications without preparing the gastrointestinal tract and do not ignore recommendations for restoring the body;
after recovery for 5-7 weeks, you need to observe preventive measures as much as possible and be under the supervision of a doctor.

Compliance with these conditions guarantees the creation of an environment in the body in which helminths cannot live and reproduce. After correct and successful therapy, the risk of re-infestation is very low.

The main signs of giardiasis in adults and children:

Anti-giardiasis drugs - Meratin, Metronidazole, Ornidazole and their analogues.
Probiotics - “Bifidumbacterin”, “Yoghurt”, “Fermalak” and other drugs that restore intestinal microflora after poisoning with Giardia toxins.

Rinse them with cold water, put them in a large saucepan (old, the resin is difficult to wash off) and fill with spring water 15-20cm above the level of the cones. Place on low heat with the lid open and simmer for 8 hours (maybe intermittently). Skim the foam as if from jam. Then strain (put a rag in the sink so as not to spoil it with resin), discard the cones. Add sugar 1:1 by volume to the remaining liquid (take 0.5 kg of sugar per 0.5 liter jar of broth) and cook the jam for 1 hour. The result will be jam with the smell of raspberries, not pine. Take no more than 2 tbsp. on an empty stomach. If the body does not accept sweets on an empty stomach, then you can eat after meals. It also cleanses the lungs and gastrointestinal tract.
