Patient's question:
I have stomach pain and bloating, often accompanied by belching, especially after drinking water and eating dinner. Six months ago, a gastroscopy examination revealed superficial gastritis. The doctor recommended taking Omeprazole and Quick Stomach Tablets. After taking them, my condition improved, but it recurs when I stop taking the medication, and it gets worse when I start taking them again. Recently, I have also experienced nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, especially lower left abdominal pain. Hello, how did I get colitis? What treatment and medication would be most effective?Doctor's answer:
Without a colonoscopy, it is impossible to diagnose. It is recommended to conduct a thorough examination and diagnosis before implementing treatment. According to your description, the symptoms are more likely to be colitis, but other issues cannot be ruled out either. You may take many traditional Chinese medicines to alleviate the symptoms. It is advised to visit a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital for diagnosis. The Ge Gen Huang Qin Huang Lian Decoction can be adjusted according to your specific condition. Additionally, during the treatment of stomach pain, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of stomach pain.
