Patient's question:
I've had a stomachache for two or three days, no nausea or vomiting, saw a doctor, took Si Ji Wei Tai and some other medicine. On the third day, my stomach hurt more and I 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, traditional Chinese medicine can be the foundation, while Western medicine focuses on implementing care and treatment to achieve the goals of nourishing the stomach, protecting the stomach, and repairing the gastrointestinal mucosa, effectively preventing the recurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. If not diagnosed, it is still best to go to the hospital for an endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract to diagnose the patient's direct gastrointestinal distress. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If gastroenteritis does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
