Question
What causes acute colitis diarrhea?
Answer
A 17-year-old male patient with persistent diarrhea for over a month, suspected of having chronic dysentery, is advised to undergo routine stool tests to rule out infection. Treatment may include traditional Chinese medicine such as Fuzi Lizi Wan, along with abdominal warming, dietary adjustments (avoiding cold and irritating foods), moderate exercise, and a regular lifestyle. The principle is to adopt a “three parts treatment and seven parts nourishment” approach to chronic gastrointestinal diseases, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Dripping Pill may be considered for supplementation if necessary. With these methods, the patient has the potential to gradually recover. Wishing for good health.
