Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to a class reunion and drank quite a bit of alcohol. It's been several days now, and every time I take a nap in the afternoon, I feel my stomach is bloated. Even after taking stomach-settling tablets, it hasn't helped much. Besides the bloating, my throat also hurts, and drinking water doesn't seem to help either. I'm wondering what could be causing the bloated stomach and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
Sore throat is one of the most common conditions, often occurring during the cold season of the year. It is commonly accompanied by colds, tonsillitis, sinusitis, whooping cough, pharyngitis, and viral infections. Most acute sore throats will resolve on their own within a few days to a few weeks. However, if the pain persists or worsens within a few days, it is necessary to see a doctor. This is because, if left untreated for a long time, the condition may lead to rheumatic fever, endangering the heart and kidneys.In addition, during the treatment for gastritis, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also very important. Patients must avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of gastritis.
