Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, for some reason, I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, with a dull pain in my stomach sometimes accompanied by symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. What should a pregnant woman do if she gets dysentery?Doctor's answer:
For this situation, we recommend that the patient visit the hospital's supplementary internal medicine department for a follow-up visit in a timely manner. Since the patient is currently pregnant, some medications are not recommended for use. The condition of dysentery the patient is experiencing is likely caused by factors such as catching a cold or improper diet, leading to an intestinal inflammation caused by Shigella bacteria. Generally, it requires the use of antibiotics in combination for treatment. It is advised to follow the doctor's prescription for medication.
