Patient's question:
I've had stomach pain for two or three days, no nausea or vomiting. I saw a doctor and took four nine stomach medicine and some other medicine. On the third day, my stomach pain got worse, and I also started having diarrhea. Then I got an IV drip, and the stomach pain stopped. Today is the third day of nausea and vomiting. What's going on? What medicine should I take for gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
If diagnosed with gastroenteritis in the hospital, treatment can be based on traditional Chinese medicine, with Western medicine primarily used for supportive care and treatment. This aims to nourish and protect the stomach, repair the gastrointestinal mucosa, and effectively prevent the recurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. If not diagnosed, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for an endoscopic examination to diagnose the patient's direct gastrointestinal issues. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If gastroenteritis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
