Question
Recently sought treatment for throat discomfort at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, diagnosed with chronic pharyngitis or neurasthenia, accompanied by belching symptoms, with gas seemingly trapped in the abdomen or throat, unable to be expelled comfortably. Although medication has been taken for some time, the belching issue persists. The doctor mentioned a weak pulse, and I’m not sure what this means. I hope to understand the precautions to take and dietary therapy methods. I have stopped using Chinese medicine and have a history of thyroid nodules.
Answer
Based on your description, it may be related to insufficient Qi and blood. It is recommended that you consult with a clinical doctor for a detailed diagnosis. If a child is affected by acute gastritis, parents should take their child to the hospital as soon as possible, avoid self-administering over-the-counter medications, and use medication reasonably while providing appropriate care and attention to help the child receive timely treatment.
