Patient's question:
I didn't have a good appetite since I was a child. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, they said it was gastritis and gastroenteritis. Later, the doctor prescribed some medicine for me, which I took for a long time. But now the problem has returned, and I went to another hospital for a detailed check-up, where they said it was gastritis. What exactly is my condition? I usually don't like greasy food and often feel nauseous, vomiting, and having diarrhea. What are the differences between gastritis and gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Your current symptoms are likely to be gastroenteritis, gastritis: only upper abdominal pain and discomfort, accompanied (or not accompanied) by dry vomiting. Gastroenteritis: gastritis and enteritis, with symptoms of gastritis and symptoms of enteritis such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, also known as vomiting and diarrhea. Patients with gastroenteritis, in addition to symptomatic treatment, should also pay attention to maintaining proper dietary habits in daily life to enhance nutritional support for the body.
