Question
Last night, after eating fried potatoes, I experienced vomiting. This morning, I have a fever of over 38 degrees. Do I need to go to the hospital? What kind of medicine can I take to relieve the symptoms?
Answer
It is suspected to be acute gastritis, with symptoms including upper abdominal pain, decreased appetite, vomiting, and sometimes accompanied by purulent vomiting. It is recommended to use medications such as Stomach Comfort, Antivomitin, Metoclopramide, Cisapride, and Cholesteramine for treatment. If the symptoms are severe, it is advised to go to the hospital or a veterinary hospital immediately for intravenous fluid therapy, such as 2g of Cefamandole Sodium added to 100 milliliters of saline for intravenous infusion. When vomiting is severe, fasting is recommended, drinking plenty of water, and applying a hot water bottle to the abdomen to relieve discomfort. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
