Patient's question:
I have the habit of not eating breakfast regularly because after having breakfast, I don't feel like going to work. I always find it particularly difficult to get out of bed, but recently I've been experiencing severe stomach pain. After a thorough examination, I found out it's gastroenteritis. I want to ask if it's okay to take Huoxiang Zhengqi pills when suffering from gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
In the case of gastroenteritis, taking Huoxiang Zhengqi pills cannot surpass the effects of comprehensive treatment. Because if gastroenteritis is not treated with anti-inflammatory measures in a timely manner, it may lead to other complications. Therefore, it is discovered that when suffering from gastroenteritis, anti-inflammatory medication should be decided upon to implement treatment. In terms of diet, attention must be paid—no spicy foods should be consumed, such as chili peppers, spicy hot pot, etc., and these foods are strictly prohibited. Additionally, drinking beer should not be resumed.
