Patient's question:
Last year, I had intermittent dull pain in the stomach area with belching. This time, I've had continuous intermittent dull pain with belching for 10 days. I visited a doctor and was initially prepared for an endoscopy, but after listening to my symptoms, the doctor said it wasn't necessary. He prescribed some medication for me to take home and advised me to eat less spicy food. The medication is almost finished, but I still feel intermittent pain and belching?Doctor's answer:
Mainly because of spleen and stomach weakness, some traditional Chinese medicine is used for regulation. It is recommended to take Kuihua Weikangling, which is a specialized medicine for chronic stomach problems. It is advised not to eat fried, greasy, spicy, or irritating foods in your diet, and to focus on a light diet, eating more foods that dispel dampness and detoxify, such as yam, coix seed, millet, black fungus, and brewing water with chrysanthemum and wolfberry. Combining Xiao Jian Zhong Tang with Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan can be effective.When patients face stomach pain and distress, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the stomach pain persists despite treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
