Patient's question:
I was abroad during the summer, and on a Sunday, I drank something cold. Since Monday morning, I've been experiencing headaches, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. I feel like I'm losing weight, and I've been going to the bathroom frequently. After taking Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid, Wuchang Peppermint Tablets, and Norfloxacin capsules, on Tuesday, my head felt fine, but my stomach sometimes ached, and I went to the bathroom a few times. I also had chills, and my head started to hurt again. By Wednesday, my head was already fine, but my stomach had started to constantly urge me to use the bathroom. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Erythromycin does not have a significant effect on the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended to take Montmorillonite powder to stop diarrhea, take Cephalexin to reduce inflammation, and also take medications that protect the gastric mucosa, such as Bismuth Potassium Citrate, as well as acid-reducing medications like Omeprazole. If you have a fever, try to lower it through physical means first. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, take Ibuprofen. Pay attention to your diet afterward and avoid spicy and extremely cold foods. Gastric pain is a condition that is not easily relieved. Friends with this condition should maintain a good attitude.
