Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I got acute gastroenteritis while traveling, and I was both vomiting and having diarrhea. I received B6 infusions. Now my stomach is either blocked up or feels like heartburn, and I don't want to eat dinner. How should acute gastroenteritis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is likely a manifestation of gastritis. Therefore, it is recommended to take omeprazole and domperidone to reduce acid production, promote blood circulation, enhance gastrointestinal motility, and improve absorption. A soft, easily digestible diet is advisable, avoiding greasy, spicy, and irritating foods. There are many treatment methods for gastroenteritis, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
