Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it got better for a while, but then it started again. How can I prevent gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of gastroenteritis are irregular eating habits and unclean food. For example, frequently consuming extremely cold, fried, and unsanitary food can lead to ingestion of pathogens. It is commonly caused by bacterial or viral infections. If symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and dry heaves reappear, it indicates acute gastroenteritis and requires immediate treatment. In severe cases, it can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and even the risk of shock.
