Patient's question:
My dad has been feeling stomach bloating for over ten days. It lasted for about five or six days, and then it went away. But in the past two days, he's started experiencing bloating around the navel again. It doesn't necessarily occur after meals; sometimes it happens before meals as well, with no specific time pattern. We have Domperidone at home, and he's been taking it since last night. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is best to go to the hospital for an endoscopy and a color Doppler ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen. It is recommended that the elderly avoid overexertion and overtime work, prevent emotional excitement, and ensure adequate rest and deep sleep. Eat less spicy, greasy food, and follow a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar, easily digestible diet. Eat small meals frequently and maintain a regular three-meal-a-day schedule. Relax your mind and engage in appropriate physical activity. In addition to treating stomach bloating, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
