Question
Why does my stomach hurt and give me diarrhea when it’s cold?
Answer
When the weather turns cold or one catches a chill, some people experience stomach pain and diarrhea. These symptoms usually ease after diarrhea, but the causes may include intestinal cramps, intestinal infections, gastritis, or emotional tension. Patients should maintain emotional stability, get plenty of rest, avoid cold foods, and consider using medications like Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan for treatment. If necessary, they should go to the hospital for a detailed examination to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
