Patient's question:
How to deal with gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea? My boyfriend went to a dinner party yesterday and after coming back home in the evening, he started having diarrhea and vomited many times. I immediately took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said he had gastroenteritis and prescribed some medication for him to take home. How long does it usually take for someone with gastroenteritis to recover after taking medication?Doctor's answer:
If you experience symptoms of gastroenteritis again, it is recommended that you go to a local reputable tertiary hospital to undergo relevant gastrointestinal endoscopy examinations. In addition, it is suggested that you pay close attention to a regular diet during this period and avoid the impact of smoking and alcohol. It is recommended that you take appropriate medications prescribed by your doctor to treat the symptoms of gastroenteritis.
