Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. Two months ago, after eating apples or drinking milk, I would take a nap in the afternoon. Sometimes, if I ate dinner at the wrong time during the day, I would add a cold cola to it. After that, every morning, my bowel movements were not well-formed, but I didn't have stomach pain. This lasted for a month, and I felt something was wrong, so I found a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. I took traditional Chinese medicine for a week (it was said to be for strengthening the spleen, and I have avoided spicy, alcoholic, and oily foods). There was no significant improvement. Then, I took traditional Chinese medicine for another 5 days plus Bifidobacterium (), but still no significant effect. Now, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered to be gastroenteritis. You can use Gan Liu Kang Granules. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. If you don't want a detailed colonoscopy, you can have a routine examination, such as blood, urine, and stool tests, which are still very necessary. Then, you can receive integrated Chinese and Western treatment. Avoid eating cold foods for the time being. There are many treatments for gastroenteritis, but because the symptoms of the patients are different, the diagnostic methods used are also different. Therefore, patients need to have a timely examination and diagnosis to treat the symptoms accordingly.
