Patient's question:
I have developed chronic gastritis! I've also got qi stagnation again! Yesterday I started taking traditional Chinese medicine! After taking it, I felt even worse! I don't have an appetite! Resting doesn't help! Can I stop taking the medicine?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, there is a history of stomach issues (did you have an endoscopy and Helicobacter pylori tests? Do you experience stomach pain, acid reflux, heartburn, or discomfort?), and the condition is suggested to be due to liver qi stagnation. It is recommended to take Chai Hu Shu Gan Wan / Qi Zhi Wei Tan Ke Li / Xiao Yao Wan for treatment. If you have stomach pain, acid reflux, heartburn, or discomfort, it is recommended to take Aluminum Hydroxide Magnesium Chewable Tablets. For bloating, belching, gas, fullness, nausea, and vomiting, it is recommended to take Mosapride. Maintain a regular diet and avoid spicy, fried, greasy, extremely cold, and irritating foods. Do not drink beer, strong tea, or coffee. In addition to conventional treatment for stomach issues, the patient also needs to pay attention to nursing care, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood.
