what is bacteria

are a large domain of single-celled, prokaryotic microorganisms. They have a wide range of shapes and characteristics, such as anaerobic or aerobic, rods, or gram positive or gram negative.

what is a virus

is a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms

what is fungus

is a plant that produces yeastlike or moldlike diseases called mycotic infections

antibiotics

Antibiotics are strong medicines that treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics won't treat viral infections because they can't kill viruses. You'll get better when the viral infection has run its course.

side effects to antibiotics

vomiting, diarrhea, nausea

Cephalosporins are used for

serious infections, like bacteremia and septicemia (infections of the blood); and infections of the lower respiratory tract, central nervous system (CNS), genitourinary system, joints, and bones. These drugs are also used in patients who cannot take penicillin.

vomiting

Antidopaminergic agents such as chlorpromazine and prochlorpromazine (Compazine) are used almost exclusively to control nausea and vomiting

signs of toxicity in dopaminergic agents

Early signs of toxicity in the patient taking dopaminergic agents include muscle twitching and blepharospasm (eyelid spasms).

stool softener

soften stool by lowering the surface tension, which allows the fecal mass to be softened by intestinal fluids. They also inhibit fluid and electrolyte reabsorption by the intestine.

laxative stimulant

increase peristalsis by several mechanisms, depending on the agent. These mechanisms include primary stimulation of colon nerves (senna preparations), stimulation of sensory nerves in the intestinal mucosa (bisacodyl), or direct stimulation of smooth muscle and inhibition of water and electrolyte reabsorption from the intestinal lumen (castor oil).

different kids of vomiting

?

vomiting, what it looks like and what it might indicate

*brown coffee-ground material indicates partial digestion of blood



anticholinergic drugs

mimic the fight-or-flight response. These drugs are commonly used for their autonomic function in the treatment of many respiratory and GI disorders. The drugs increase heart rate, dilate pupils, dry secretions, and dilate the bronchi of the respiratory tract.
