Patient's question:
Two days ago, the stomach pain became severe, with approximately one episode of pain every 15 minutes. Accompanied by a fever between 37.4-38.5°C. The pain intensifies after each bowel movement. What medication should be taken for stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
Sudden stomach pain is most closely related to daily dietary habits and emotional disturbances, and it is also possible that it could be a ulcer. It is best not to self-medicate blindly and should be checked with a gastroscopy in a timely manner. During the treatment period, the diet should be based on light food, and hard and difficult-to-digest foods should be eaten less. When the pain is severe, ranitidine can be taken. It should be noted that ranitidine should not be taken continuously for less than a week. The patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of stomach pain.
