Patient's question:
Just after five o'clock, I started having stomach pain. Then I ate noodles, which had a bit of chili in them. Halfway through, my stomach and abdomen started hurting, so I quickly went home. Then I had diarrhea, and when I looked at the stool, there were some fresh red blood streaks. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The fresh red blood streaks in the stool are likely caused by stomach upset after eating spicy food. For stomach pain, you can take proton pump inhibitors or cephalosporin antibiotics, follow a light diet, avoid spicy, alcoholic, and irritating foods, reduce consumption of greasy and fried foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and avoid overworking. This type of stomach pain is not easy to relieve. Friends with the condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in overcoming the pain and believing they will recover.
