Patient's question:
I don't know if it's a cold or something I ate, my stomach hurts, and I occasionally feel like vomiting again. Just now, I just started feeling sick. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If necessary, check if it is a Helicobacter pylori infection. The specific symptoms of gastric ulcer are pain in the upper abdomen, located below the xiphoid process (sternum) or around the midline of the upper abdomen, presenting as burning, gnawing, or hunger-like dull pain, distending pain, or hidden pain. The pain can be relieved by defecation, drinking water, or consuming alkaline foods (such as steamed buns). A gastroscopy is required for a thorough examination and diagnosis. Patients with stomach pain can, while receiving professional treatment, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily eating habits and never overeat or binge drink.
