Patient's question:
When I just started university, I really hated football. Coincidentally, this year is the World Cup in Moscow. The past few days, every night I was eating barbecue outside while watching the World Cup. After a few days, nothing much happened, but after eating and watching the first game last night, I felt my stomach wasn't too comfortable. Then soon after, I started vomiting and having diarrhea. Could I have gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
The patient may have acute gastroenteritis caused by unclean food during defecation. It is recommended that the patient first undergoes blood tests and stool bacterial culture at the hospital for thorough examination. In terms of treatment, antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment, intravenous digestive fluids, and maintaining electrolyte balance can be provided. Additionally, oral probiotics and intestinal astringents should be taken, along with symptomatic supportive treatment.
