Patient's question:
6:00 PM on June 21st, eat watermelon. That night, had stomach pain, diarrhea the next morning, didn't take medicine. Already had a bad stomach, thought it would be fine in a couple of days. Later felt coughing, pain from upper abdomen to lower abdomen. On June 27th, went to the community hospital and got Si Shen Pian, Bao Ji Wan, and Levofloxacin. Still not feeling better, so what should I do now to regulate it?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: This symptom is a manifestation of acute gastroenteritis caused by improper diet.Recommendations: I recommend treatment with ciprofloxacin (similar to levofloxacin, but with less oral absorption and localized action in the intestine) or gentamicin. Abdominal pain is spastic pain caused by intestinal irritation due to enteritis. It is suggested that oral racemic hyoscyamine can be used for spasm relief and pain relief. Additionally, if diarrhea is severe, oral diphenoxylate should be administered. However, if dehydration symptoms occur, it is essential to undergo intravenous fluid therapy for energy replenishment.
