Patient's question:
Because of my acute gastroenteritis, I took medicine and it's almost better, but what about the swollen rectum? The medicine isn't working, is there any solution?Doctor's answer:
The above symptoms are related to congestion and edema in the anal area. Nausea and vomiting can cause certain irritation to the anal area, leading to edema and the symptoms you have described. Generally, this is not severe. The symptoms you are experiencing can be relieved by soaking in a warm potassium permanganate solution. This can help you gradually recover. For example, soaking in a warm potassium permanganate solution before bed each day can help stabilize local blood circulation and maintain cleanliness in the area. The symptoms you are experiencing can gradually improve. If they do not fully recover within a week, it is also necessary to visit a hospital for a thorough examination.
