Patient's question:
Female, 44 years old, recently frequently hiccuping and feeling stomach bloating for about 12 days. How to take care of it?Doctor's answer:
Hiccup is generally caused by diaphragmatic spasm. In mild cases, flexible use of antispasmodic drugs and attention to abdominal warmth can effectively improve it. For severe hiccup, appropriate application of point anesthesia therapy can be used for treatment, which is generally effective in improving the condition. The commonly used point for this therapy is the Zusanli point with Weifuan anesthesia. The daily treatment for patients with stomach distension is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines and avoid alcohol. We hope that patients with stomach distension can recover quickly!
