Patient's question:
I had acute gastroenteritis a few days ago and went to the hospital. I received an intravenous saline infusion. Then, the day before yesterday, I ate some congee, and yesterday I started eating rice. Can I drink orange juice today?Doctor's answer:
If you had intestinal inflammation a few days ago, you should not be able to drink orange juice in these days. It is best to have a light diet. In your case, it is recommended not to drink orange juice so quickly, and it is better to have a light diet. It is best to choose easily digestible foods such as congee and noodles to avoid increasing pressure on the intestines. There are several methods for treating gastroenteritis, but since the symptoms of patients are different, the diagnostic methods used are also different. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible after discovering symptoms.
