What should I do if acute gastroenteritis hasn't improved for 4 days?

Patient's question:

The doctor said it's acute gastroenteritis, which has lasted for 4 days. Initially, it only happened once, and after taking medicine, there was no more diarrhea, but the stomach still aches intensely in waves. After taking medicine for two days, the pain persisted. Then, they received two days of intravenous drips, which were said to contain pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects. But soon after finishing the drips, the intense aching returned. The pain symptoms just don't seem to go away. What's going on? What kind of medicine is worth taking? Can I drink yogurt?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of the illness, you have acute gastroenteritis. You can take oral medications such as Chang Yan Ling, Qing Da Granules, and Norfloxacin. It is recommended that you temporarily avoid drinking yogurt. Eat more easily digestible soft and tender foods. Such as millet porridge, noodle soup, and noodle-like foods. Do not eat spicy, greasy, or cold foods.
When facing gastroenteritis, patients should actively undergo examinations and treatment. Do not avoid seeking medical attention. If the gastroenteritis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
