Question
I have had diarrhea for three days, and both intravenous treatment and medication have not helped. My stomach makes gurgling sounds. It’s been two days of intravenous treatment and medication, but it’s not getting better. What should I do? How should I treat it?
Answer
I believe you have gastroenteritis, which is often caused by catching a cold, eating cold and hard food, or unclean diet or overeating. Clinical symptoms include nausea, dry heaves, and vomiting. I suggest taking Stomachic and Digestive Tablets and Huoxiang Zhengqi Soft Capsules orally, drinking plenty of warm water, eating light and easy-to-digest foods, avoiding cold, hard, and spicy irritant foods, eating in small meals throughout the day to prevent overeating, and paying attention to staying warm to avoid catching a cold, especially in the stomach and abdominal area.
