Symptom 7: Gastrointestinal Issues
SJS can also impact the gastrointestinal system, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. These symptoms can result from the inflammation and blistering of the mucous membranes that line the digestive tract.
Gastrointestinal issues can lead to dehydration, malnutrition, and electrolyte imbalances, which can further exacerbate the symptoms and complications of SJS. It is essential to monitor and address these symptoms to maintain proper hydration and nutrition during the course of the illness.
If gastrointestinal symptoms become severe or persistent, it is crucial to seek medical attention. A healthcare professional can help manage these symptoms and provide appropriate treatment to prevent further complications. (7)
