Patient's question:
On an empty stomach and after meals, when it starts in the afternoon, the stomach acid is high. Taking one tablet of Ranitidine and 2 tablets of VU quickly helps. After taking 9 sets of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no significant improvement, and the pain still persists. What could be the reason? In 1973, it hurt once. In 1976, it hurt once. In 2016, it hurt once. Recently, it has hurt again for about 15 days. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The stomach pain has been prolonged, and the effect of medication is poor. It is recommended that you consult a doctor for a gastroscopy examination. As the saying goes, "treating stomach problems is 30% cure and 70% care." Pay attention to preventing stomach colds in daily life, eat warm, soft, and easily digestible foods, and avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Do not consume raw, cold, greasy, and spicy foods. Maintain sufficient deep sleep. For patients with severe stomach acid, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment and do not blindly trust advertisements or medications to treat the condition, as this may worsen the condition.
