Patient's question:
Can you drink Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid when you have stomach bloating? Will it cause constipation after drinking?Doctor's answer:
Generally, stomach bloating is caused by prolonged sitting, irregular eating habits, alcohol consumption, poor rest, and mental stress, leading to chronic superficial gastritis. It is recommended to engage in more exercise, maintain a regular diet, and reduce the intake of spicy foods, which can promote gastrointestinal motility. If the symptoms of stomach bloating do not stabilize, and after proper treatment, the patient's condition shows no significant improvement accompanied by symptoms such as black stools or weight loss, it is advised to undergo a routine gastroscopy examination. Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid, as a traditional Chinese medicine, is not suitable for general gastritis-induced stomach bloating; it is used for gastrointestinal-type colds!
