Patient's question:
Patient is male, 41 years old, previously in good health. On the 16th of this month at 3 PM: severe pain at the navel accompanied by dry heaving. Lunch consisted of stir-fried mushrooms. Stir-fried cabbage?Doctor's answer:
Do you have any reports of peritoneal lymph nodes in your ultrasound? If the lymph nodes are normal, it can rule out mesenteric lymphadenitis. Appendicitis has the characteristic of migrating pain in the right lower abdomen. Currently, your symptoms and ultrasound results do not support a definitive diagnosis of appendicitis. I currently suspect it is acute gastroenteritis. A three-day intravenous fluid treatment is too short; it should be focused on at least one week of intravenous fluids. In addition to maintaining a light diet, you should eat more light and easily digestible foods to prevent further straining the intestines.Doctor's inquiry: The condition of the stomach disease is very serious. It is recommended that the patient seek timely treatment and hope that the patient can respond to the doctor's advice with symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues to avoid spicy and irritating foods, so as not to worsen the condition.
The above answers are hoped to assist you. Thank you.
