Patient's question:
After a period of fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and inability to eat dinner. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Taking Ganai Granules. What kind of assistance is needed: Is this a stomach disease...Doctor's answer:
(Abdominal pain) is one of the most frequently recurring phenomena in daily life among people of all ages and genders. Sudden and severe abdominal pain often causes the patient themselves and even the entire family to become extremely anxious, often leading them to randomly take painkillers at home or immediately suggest to doctors that they administer pain-relieving injections upon arriving at the hospital. In fact, this behavior is incorrect. There are dozens of reasons that can cause abdominal pain, involving various aspects such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and more. Blindly taking painkillers is not correct and can sometimes even be dangerous. This is because:First, taking painkillers first can make it very difficult to diagnose. Experienced surgeons, based on obvious abdominal pain characteristics and simple physical examinations, can often understand the nature of many common diseases (such as appendicitis, kidney stones, etc.) within minutes. However, if painkillers are taken at home, doctors may not be able to grasp the true characteristics of the abdominal pain (as the painkillers have reduced or altered the pain), making diagnosis and treatment more challenging.
Additionally, using painkillers can mask the condition and create false impressions. Sometimes, the condition may actually worsen, but because painkillers are used, the pain is reduced, and it may appear that the condition is improving. This can mask the true condition and even lead to life-threatening risks.
Therefore, we urge all friends to treat abdominal pain correctly: first, endure it for a while and do not blindly take painkillers on your own. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible. At the hospital, you must trust the doctor's proper treatment and do not mistakenly assume the doctor is incompetent or irresponsible just because the pain is not fully relieved. The goal of a good doctor is to identify the true cause of the abdominal pain and address it, rather than simply alleviating the pain. Of course, after the cause is identified, painkillers may be necessary to relieve symptoms.
