Patient's question:
I recently had a recurrence of gastroenteritis, and I've already taken all the medicine I had. A few weeks ago, my colleague mentioned that Huoxiang Zhengqi can treat gastroenteritis. Fortunately, I have Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid at home, so I'd like to consult with you—does Huoxiang Zhengqi work well for gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Sage essential Qi possesses the functions of expelling external pathogens and resolving dampness, regulating Qi and harmonizing the stomach and intestines. It can treat symptoms of acute gastroenteritis caused by internal injury and dampness stagnation, such as dry vomiting and diarrhea. In your case, taking Sage essential Qi may provide some relief. Additionally, you can take Lactic Acid Bacteria Tablets orally to aid digestion. It is important to follow a diet of warm, soft, and easily digestible foods, eat small meals frequently, chew food thoroughly, and avoid overeating, spicy foods, and extremely cold or hard foods. Base your diet on millet porridge and avoid greasy foods to alleviate symptoms.
