Is it acute gastroenteritis? What over-the-counter medications should I take?

Patient's question:

Last night at midnight, I vomited and had diarrhea, but it wasn't too severe. This morning until noon, I had diarrhea twice, like water! I don't remember eating anything that could cause diarrhea yesterday. The only thing I ate was raw oysters the day before yesterday. I wonder if that's the reason? What medicine should I take?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Based on your description, it is preliminarily considered that it is likely a disorder of gastrointestinal function.
Advice: For vomiting, it is recommended to first undergo an abdominal X-ray to rule out incomplete intestinal obstruction. If the results are normal, lactase tablets and digestive enzyme tablets can be given to aid digestion. Treatment for diarrhea can include compound acidophilus tablets and montmorillonite powder. Wishing you good health.
