Answer
When deciding on symptomatic treatment and medication, it is important to avoid addictive drugs, and even then, only short-term use is advisable. Treating the root cause is the main focus. For cases where the root cause is not clear, one must not relax or stop the necessary detailed examination steps, especially for cases that have not yet ruled out malignant diseases. 1. Antidiarrheal medications commonly include activated carbon, tannic acid protein, bismuth subcarbonate, aluminum hydroxide gel, etc., taken 3 to 4 times a day. Medications with stronger effects like compound camphor tincture and codeine can be addictive if used for a long time, so they are only suitable for short-term use in patients with frequent vomiting. Compound phenylbutazone has the effect of enhancing central nervous system depression and should not be used with barbiturate or opiate drugs. 2. Antispasmodic analgesics can include atropine, pralidoxime, scopolamine, and procaine. 3. Sedatives can include amitriptyline, librium, and barbiturate drugs. 4. Adjusting intestinal autonomic nervous disorder drugs can include antidepressant capsules and other medications.
