Patient's question:
My uncle has that gastroenteritis, and it's chronic. This disease has been lingering for many years now. As he's getting older, his recovery is slower, so it's becoming increasingly difficult for the condition to improve. For elderly chronic gastroenteritis, what kind of medication should he take?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastroenteritis is related to daily dietary habits, especially in the elderly. Elderly individuals naturally have a weakened spleen and stomach. If they consume inappropriate foods due to poor dietary choices, they may frequently experience clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. It is recommended to make dietary changes, prioritizing liquid and semi-liquid foods, and avoiding spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. In severe cases, applying topical anti-inflammatory quinolone medications can help treat the condition.
