Patient's question:
I am a female, 28 years old. Recently, I feel like I might have gastroenteritis. It is said that gastroenteritis is common among people who often skip meals or have irregular dinner schedules. I have been busy with work lately, so my dinner schedule has been irregular. Hello doctor, will I get gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
General gastroenteritis is characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, dry heaves, vomiting, and indigestion. It is closely related to irregular eating habits and consuming spoiled food. Therefore, if you experience these symptoms, it is likely that you may have gastroenteritis. The treatment for gastroenteritis primarily involves maintaining a regular diet and using medications to regulate the digestive system. For acute gastroenteritis, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, while for chronic gastroenteritis, medications that strengthen the spleen and aid digestion are recommended.
