Question
I haven’t had diarrhea very often before, but lately, I’ve been having diarrhea several times a day, feeling uncomfortable in the stomach, and passing little stool. What could be the cause of frequent diarrhea?
Answer
If the patient is only vomiting without other symptoms, appropriate use of anti-diarrheal and gastrointestinal tonics may be recommended. This could be due to indigestion caused by colds, poor diet, or other factors. If there is intermittent pain around the navel, it may be considered as enteritis. Appropriate use of anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, and anti-diarrheals should be considered. If necessary, it is recommended to consult a hospital for a detailed examination.
