Patient's question:
My stomach has never been very good. Sometimes after eating spicy food, it will hurt soon after. And sometimes if I eat too much, I will feel bloated. When I see a doctor, they usually prescribe Western medicine. My friend says that taking too much Western medicine is not good, so you should take Chinese medicine instead. How effective is Chinese medicine for treating stomach problems?Doctor's answer:
Chinese medicine regulation is possible. The dietary treatment principle is to re-adjust the various functions of the stomach and develop good eating and living habits. When eating dinner, chew food thoroughly to ensure it mixes well with digestive fluids. The diet should be light and low in irritants, and dinner should not be overeating. Wait for the food to be absorbed before taking a nap. In terms of medication, the combined treatment includes antibiotics, stomach acid inhibitors, and stomach motility drugs. In addition to active treatment, patients with stomach diseases need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives. Only with sufficient deep sleep can they help you recover quickly from the disease.
