Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been experiencing stomach pain. Besides the gurgling sound, I often feel the urge to use the restroom. Sometimes I have diarrhea, and other times I pass gas. I also have my period coming on. I went to see a doctor and they prescribed Fufang Huanglian tablets, Huoxiang Zhengqi soft capsules, Sulfa Gentamicin and Bismuth Carbonate capsules. After taking them, it's still the same. My stomach still hurts, and my abdomen is also painful. It's not the lower abdomen. What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Stomach pain with loud rumbling sounds, frequent urge to use the restroom, and sometimes diarrhea with gas release are symptoms of acute gastroenteritis, which is likely related to improper diet. In this case, it's advisable to follow a light diet, primarily consuming porridge, and avoid greasy foods and fruits. Oral administration of ciprofloxacin and bismuth carbonate capsules, along with oral administration of racemic hyoscyamine tablets, should help heal within two to three days.For patients with stomach pain, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it's important to maintain a proper dietary habit in daily life to aid in digestion and absorb nutrients.
