Patient's question:
My stomach has never been very good, and it hurts whenever I move. After eating at a buffet at night, I started experiencing stomach pain, nausea, and the urge to vomit in the middle of the night. By the afternoon of the third day, I had already started having severe diarrhea. What should I do about gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is acute gastroenteritis, and you should seek medical treatment at a local hospital promptly. Additionally, during the treatment period for gastroenteritis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach upset, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. Avoid consuming excessively cold or greasy foods. Moreover, eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating. If medication is not necessary, it is recommended to use it under the guidance of a doctor and not to take medication blindly.
