Patient's question:
Seven days ago, I ate greasy food and drank alcohol, then had diarrhea and stomach pain. The doctor prescribed medication for me, and after taking it, I stopped having diarrhea, but I still had stomach bloating and pain. After meals, I feel even more uncomfortable in my stomach. It gets a bit better after belching.Doctor's answer:
Now there are symptoms of stomach bloating and pain. Seven days ago, you ate greasy food and drank alcohol, so the symptoms still persist. This suggests the possibility of gastritis or an ulcer. It is recommended to first undergo an endoscopy to determine whether it is gastritis or a stomach ulcer. If it is an ulcer, it is best to minimize the consumption of beer. If it is gastritis, then medication for treating gastritis should be taken. Stomach bloating greatly interferes with patients' lives. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
