Children with diarrhea may lose their appetite, vomit, lose weight, or have a fever. If diarrhea is severe or lasts a long time, dehydration is likely. Infants and young children can become dehydrated more quickly, sometimes in less than 1 day. Severe dehydration can cause seizures, brain damage, and death. Worldwide, diarrhea causes 1.5 million deaths a year mostly in underdeveloped countries.
Options include: Medications that block uric acid production. Drugs called xanthine oxidase inhibitors, including allopurinol (Aloprim, Lopurin, Zyloprim) and febuxostat (Uloric), limit the amount of uric acid your body makes. This may lower your blood's uric acid level and reduce your risk of gout.
Antihypertensives from various groupings had differing effects on gouty occurrences. The relative risk of gout for all these agents were: â¢ 1.29 for non-losartan ARBs. Associations between antihypertensives and gout were stronger with longer durations of use and higher dosages of the antihypertensive agent in question. If dual therapy was prescribed for hypertension (for instance, diuretics plus ACE inhibitors or diuretics plus beta-blockers), risks increased (3.17 and 3.33, respectively) with 2-drug therapy compared with no antihypertensive therapy.
