Patient's question:
The other day, I got gastroenteritis and after getting an intravenous drip, my fever went down and I stopped having diarrhea. However, I still feel like there's a lot piled up in my stomach, as if it's not fully digested. What kind of food or medicine should I eat or take?Doctor's answer:
After being treated with intravenous fluids, the common symptoms of gastroenteritis, such as fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, can be relieved quickly. It is recommended:1. For the next week, eat easily digestible foods and avoid greasy foods. You can drink more porridge to promote the complete recovery of the intestinal mucosa.
2. Medication is not necessary for the time being. Digestive aids are generally prokinetic drugs, which may have the side effect of increasing bowel movements.
There are many treatment methods for gastroenteritis, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the correct treatment can be administered.
