Patient's question:
On July 3rd, I experienced upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, and was hospitalized. The tests showed amylase in urine at 963 U/L, amylase in blood at 56 U/L, and white blood cells at 11.3410.9/L. The ultrasound was normal. On July 4th, the (re-examination) of blood and urine amylase was normal, as well as thyroid function and tumor markers. Albumin was 32.2 g/L, alkaline phosphatase was 32 U/L, and the gastroscopy revealed hyperplastic gastritis and low-grade gastric erosion, with HP (-). I was discharged on July 8th.Starting from the evening of July 17th, I developed a fever of 38°C, diarrhea, and mild abdominal pain that came and went. I took Compound Acetaminophen and Cefixime, and my temperature dropped to 37.3°C.
Please tell me if I still have amylase now.
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, if this is a frequent occurrence, you are experiencing symptoms of stomach cold, which is mostly caused by spleen yang deficiency or consuming too many cold foods.Recommendations: It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, such as Wenwei Shu, Fuzi Lizhong Wan, or Guipi Wan. Additionally, in terms of diet, focus on consuming more dog meat, fennel, longan meat, etc. Furthermore, soaking feet in hot water is also quite effective.
