Patient's question:
Patient is male, 24 years old. A few days ago, he had gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea. After seeking medical attention, his condition improved, but then recently for the past few days, he has been experiencing severe stomach bloating and has been eating very little, only about one-fourth to one-third of his usual appetite. However, he still feels bloated and has no sense of hunger or appetite. This has been going on for about three days?Doctor's answer:
The condition you described is caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to stomach bloating and poor digestion. Generally, it is difficult for ordinary medications to ( means "cure" or "" in Chinese, but it seems like a typo and should be "" meaning "eliminate" or "" meaning "eradicate". I will use "eliminate" for this translation). Therefore, it is essential to receive proper treatment to eliminate the root cause of the illness.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has accumulated many highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. I recommend using traditional Chinese herbs such as:
Black sulfur, black jujube, walnut kernels, gardenia, poria, cardamom, magnolia bark, sparganium, pangolin scales, bupleurum, malt, upper turtle shell, lower turtle shell, safflower, ( means "Hainan" in Chinese, but it seems like a typo and should be "" meaning "agarwood"), iron gall powder, propolis, and honeycomb wax. These herbs, when used together, can quickly eliminate damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, regulate spleen and stomach function, and completely eliminate the root cause of the illness, thereby achieving a thorough cure.
