Patient's question:
I am 18 this year and have been feeling uncomfortable with my stomach. The hospital diagnosed me with acute gastroenteritis and gave me some medication, an IV drip, and then sent me home. However, I still feel a bit of stomach pain even after a good night's sleep today. I want to know how long it usually takes for acute gastroenteritis to heal.Doctor's answer:
If acute gastroenteritis occurs again, it generally improves within 1 to 3 days. If you have acute gastroenteritis, it is recommended that you take some anti-inflammatory and blood-activating medications appropriately, or you can also undergo intravenous infusion to resolve the issue. During that time, you need to pay attention to preventing abdominal cold and avoiding catching a cold. You can drink some warm water appropriately and eat some liquid or semi-liquid, gentle foods.
