Patient's question:
Today I ate some melon. Then I'm afraid it got cold, my stomach was very badly, so bad that I couldn't even cry out. Then I let out a fart and felt a bit better. It's been 3 hours now, and my stomach still, could it really be that I hurt myself from the bloating...Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is likely qi distention, characterized by bloating and relief after passing gas, which are symptoms of qi distention. It is probably caused by cold pathogens stagnating and obstructing qi flow, and it is also related to emotional factors. It is recommended that you visit a formal traditional Chinese medicine hospital's department of gastroenterology for a follow-up consultation. Taking 7 doses of Chinese herbal medicine can significantly improve the condition. At the same time, avoid cold foods and maintain a calm mood. Additionally, it is important to advise the patient to rest more and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
