Dysentery is a disease of the intestine that causes diarrhea with blood and occasionally can be mixed with mucus. Dysentery falls under the umbrella of diarrheal diseases which is a major public health issue among children under 5 years of age. Globally, diarrheal diseases are the third major reason behind the deaths among kids aged below 5 years. The prevalence rate is higher in developing countries as compared to developed countries.
This data may seem alarming and depict an image of urgency but these diseases are treatable and preventable. But why are we still losing this many kids over a manageable and preventable disease?

What causes Dysentery?
The parasite and bacterial diseases that lead to dysentery are extremely infectious. The parasite or bacteria are typically transmitted if a sick person’s stool (feces) enters another person’s mouth. Transmission may occur during:
- Cooked meals by someone who skips washing their hands regularly or has inadequate sanitation.
- Drinking polluted water.
- Sexual proximity particularly with the anus.
What are the symptoms of Dysentery?
Dysentery symptoms might include severe diarrhea and other indicators that differ from individual to individual based on the kind of dysentery and intensity of the ailment.
Amoebiasis: In most circumstances, a person suffering from amoebiasis is unlikely to show symptoms of dysentery. Certain individuals may experience minor dysentery complaints, such as:
- High fever.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Abdominal cramps.
In rare situations, a parasite may spread to another portion of one’s body, resulting in a pus.
Bacillary dysentery can manifest as the following symptoms:
- Bloody diarrhea.
- High fever.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Abdominal cramps
If this situation worsens, the intestinal tract could have substantial swelling and dilation.
How can Dysentery be prevented?
The easiest approach for preventing dysentery is to practice adequate personal sanitation and avoid eating foods from unsanitary environments. Here are some ways to prevent dysentery:
- Use purified or boiling water for drinking.
- Fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and peeled before eating them.
- Cook the meal properly.
What are the homeopathic medicines for Dysentery?
Homeopathy can help you immensely in cases of dysentery. Homeopathy is a holistic science that doesn’t only treat a disease by its name but by its comprehensive signs and symptoms. Every sign and symptom is considered before deciding on a suitable medicine for a patient. You must be wondering why I am bringing all the philosophies into the discussion but you should be aware of the mechanism before taking a resort under homoeopathy.
Homeopathic medicines are natural remedies that provide cures in the best way possible, which are gentle, rapid, and permanent. I can’t stress enough on these three words because they have a much deeper meaning. It means treating an individual from within and without causing any harm to your body in any way. This treatment is gentle and doesn’t pose any discomfort when administering medicines. These medicines help cure disease and not just temporarily relieve symptoms.
Conclusion:
Dysentery can be a huge problem in kids in developing countries due to subpar hygiene standards and a lack of awareness. Dysentery can be of two types such as amoebic or bacillary. General symptoms may include fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal ache, and mucus and blood presence in stool. We recommend you take professional advice before starting your homeopathic treatment. Also, your physician may give you lifestyle modification advice to accelerate the healing process.
