What medication to take for acute gastroenteritis

Patient's question:

Pain above the abdomen, intermittent pain. I went to the hospital, had blood tests, and they said nothing was wrong. I received an intravenous drip with a bottle of cephalexin for inflammation, but no other medication was prescribed. What should I take to recover faster? Besides, what could be causing this? I've always felt uncomfortable with my stomach, and I go to the toilet once every morning. Sometimes I don't know what I ate but end up having a bowel movement. My family members are the same—when they eat, it's fine.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, I suspect you have gastroenteritis, which is caused by a weak spleen and stomach. I recommend you visit a traditional Chinese medicine hospital to see a TCM practitioner for a pulse diagnosis and get some Chinese herbal medicine to regulate your condition. In fact, having gastroenteritis is not at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high. During treatment, it is also important to rest in bed. Avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a calm mood, and do not have too much pressure.
