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 was treated for a while, but it started again. How is gastroenteritis caused by a cold treated?Doctor's answer:
Gastroenteritis caused by the common cold often recurs with symptoms of dry heaving, nausea, and vomiting. This is usually due to the body's immune system being weakened after a cold, making the intestines more susceptible to bacterial infections, which can lead to gastroenteritis. Oral anti-inflammatory medications for the intestines can be taken for treatment. It is also important to maintain a light diet and pay attention to food hygiene to prevent further bacterial infections and inflammation.
