Patient's question:
Postpartum day 2, I drank ginger wine and had stomach pain, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was gastroenteritis. I want to ask if it was because of drinking ginger wine?Doctor's answer:
Ginger has the functions of warming the meridians and promoting blood circulation, as well as expelling cold and relieving external pathogens. People with a cold constitution often exhibit symptoms such as aversion to cold, cold limbs, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. This may be due to excessive consumption of ginger or its strong effect in warming the meridians, leading to nausea and vomiting.For patients, if the condition of gastroenteritis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, gastroenteritis may recur. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
