Patient's question:
My wife has been running to the toilet three or four times since lunch today, and she's also feeling nauseous and dry heaving. I'm worried she might have acute gastroenteritis. I want to take her to the hospital to see a doctor. Which department is best for acute gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Acute gastroenteritis is a very common digestive system disease. You can go to the gastroenterology department of a regular hospital for follow-up treatment. However, due to various factors such as dietary influences and unclean food, symptoms like fever, dry heaving, nausea, and vomiting may reappear. It is recommended to pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, check your temperature regularly, and take oral probiotics like Bifidus, Enteringning, and effective antibiotics to alleviate the condition.
