Patient's question:
Yesterday I ate a little chili, and my stomach started to hurt again. Last night it hurt all night, and I couldn't sleep well. Usually, eating something cold also causes pain, and eating too much also causes pain. My stomach also feels acidic. These past few days, the pain has been coming and going repeatedly, and I'm too afraid to eat anything, in case it hurts again. Now I can only drink warm water and have eaten some porridge.Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons for stomach pain. If the pain is persistent, it may indicate a stomach condition. It is recommended to have a thorough medical examination at a hospital and undergo an endoscopy if necessary. It is important to determine whether the issue is excessive stomach acid, insufficient stomach acid, stomach cold, stomach heat, or another specific condition. Treatment should then be tailored accordingly. Maintaining a healthy stomach primarily involves dietary management. It is important to arrange meals reasonably and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Pay attention to preventing stomach cold. For severe stomach pain, it is advisable to seek immediate medical attention. Follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment and avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
