Patient's question:
Mother has bloated stomach, constipation (once every three days), bitter mouth, and also has pain in the two sides of the ribs and back, which has been going on for 5 months.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, back pain could be a problem related to gastric stones. It is advisable to go to the hospital for an endoscopy to rule out any serious conditions. After the examination, it may be possible to reduce the stomach fire first. Generally, after the stomach is properly cared for, the liver fire can be regulated through diet. Once both fires are reduced, you can take medications to completely eliminate Helicobacter pylori. Additionally, for patients with gastric distension during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also very important.
