Patient's question:
When the cold has been treated for a long time, now a Chinese medicine doctor took my pulse and said it was gastroenteritis. He gave me ten days of traditional Chinese medicine. My medical history is about a year, roughly. I often feel uncomfortable in my stomach, and my stool is not well-formed. Can ten days of traditional Chinese medicine cure it? What should I pay attention to in daily life? What are the symptoms of gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Often encountered gastroenteritis is chronic colitis or irritable bowel syndrome. The symptoms of colitis include frequent dull pain in the lower left abdomen, a strong urge to defecate, and reduced pain after a bowel movement, which is often closely related to diet. Irritable bowel syndrome, on the other hand, frequently causes abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Symptoms may recur when the diet is too cold or when the abdomen is exposed to cold. If traditional Chinese medicine is applied correctly, symptoms can improve noticeably and quickly. However, treatment should be tailored to individual conditions, and a course of medication should be followed. Paying attention to diet is also the most important aspect. Among these, avoiding spicy, greasy, and extremely cold foods is crucial.
