Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. My stomach has been, and sometimes I experience symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was treated for a while, but it started again. Is it acute gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
You recently experienced abdominal pain and vomiting/diarrhea after eating at the cafeteria. It is likely caused by consuming unclean food, which suggests acute gastroenteritis. The symptoms indicate acute inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, requiring timely treatment to prevent excessive vomiting leading to dehydration. You can visit the gastroenterology department of the hospital for follow-up. The doctor can prescribe anti-diarrheal medication for treatment, and intravenous fluids can be used to replenish energy and fluids. Rest and avoid abdominal cold exposure in the near future.
