Question

The patient reported that they have been experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms for half a month, characterized by a non-acute, gradually worsening diarrhea. Sometimes, the stool appears watery, and abdominal pain is also present. The patient inquires about how to deal with this situation.

Answer

It is recommended that the patient take tannic acid matrine alkaloid gel, complex lactic acid bacteria gel, and montmorillonite powder to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, and ensuring abdominal warmth. The patient should also limit the intake of hotpot-style foods and take medication appropriately based on the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a gastrointestinal endoscopy.
