Patient's question:
Stomach pain for 3 days, accompanied by acid reflux, decreased appetite, pain also at night, no correlation between pain and bowel movements, took Domperidone but didn't improve, switched to Shenqu Weitong Capsules, pain reliefed a little but still not better, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Excess stomach acid can occur again in the stomach, leading to symptoms such as acid regurgitation, nausea, and vomiting, and even causing serious consequences like gastric or duodenal ulcers. If a very small amount of ginger is consumed after meals, it can help alleviate symptoms of excess stomach acid. However, it is important not to consume too much ginger at once, as doing so can not only make it difficult to eat but also harm the eyes. Since excess stomach acid is often a chronic condition, treatment should be gradual, as rushing can lead to negative outcomes.For patients with stomach pain, in addition to immediate treatment, it is essential to maintain proper dietary habits in daily life to aid in digestion and absorb nutrients.
