Patient's question:
After coming down, I felt stomach pain. I initially thought it was a cold and didn't pay much attention. By noon, I started vomiting acid and had diarrhea. I'm almost exhausted. How should I treat stomach pain and diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when abdominal pain is accompanied by diarrhea, it is often a result of acute intestinal inflammation. In cases of bacterial or viral inflammatory infections, it can easily lead to edema of the gastrointestinal mucosa, resulting in increased osmotic pressure and thus more frequent diarrhea. At the same time, due to the stimulation of inflammation, it can cause spasms of the stomach and intestines, leading to abdominal pain.In such situations, first, focus on rest and drink an appropriate amount of water. Second, consider symptomatic drug treatment.
