Patient's question:
Recently I had a cold and took Lianhua Qingwen capsules, Amoxicillin capsules, and Cekeping capsules. I took three doses a day, six pills each time. After two days, I felt stomach discomfort, and my mouth was smelly and bitter. How should I treat this? Should I stop taking the medication?Doctor's answer:
After a cold, a bitter mouth is often caused by incomplete elimination of pathogens and internal heat accumulating in the lungs and stomach, which can be treated with oral traditional Chinese medicine. Using these medications after a cold can stabilize the patient's symptoms, but if stomach discomfort reappears after taking the medicine, it is generally recommended to change to taking the medication after meals.In addition to recommendations and guidance, many medications for treating stomach problems can also be considered to stabilize stomach conditions and aid in the complete recovery of the disease.
