Patient's question:
Two weeks ago, I had a drink and got drunk. Since then, I've been experiencing persistent mild stomach pain and an increasing amount of gas in my abdomen. There are no other symptoms such as acid reflux or heartburn. It hasn't improved yet. How can I treat stomach pain after drinking alcohol?Doctor's answer:
It is likely to be gastritis or a peptic ulcer. It is best to undergo an endoscopy for a thorough examination. I recommend you seek treatment from a gastroenterology department for proper treatment. You must avoid alcohol, coffee, tea, extremely cold, and spicy foods. Eat less starchy foods, pay attention to your diet, otherwise, the treatment effect may not be good. Patients face the harm of stomach pain, and we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles. Do not avoid seeking medical attention. If the stomach pain persists despite treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
