Can drinking milk relieve intestinal colic?
If symptoms of intestinal colic occur, it is primarily important to avoid consuming milk temporarily. Symptoms can be alleviated by using a hot water bottle or by massage to relieve smooth muscle spasms and intestinal colic. It is also important to keep warm, avoid cold exposure, and drink plenty of warm water. Care should be taken not to consume raw or cold fruits, or chilled beverages, as these may exacerbate the symptoms of intestinal colic in babies. For adults, appropriate medications, including pain relievers, can also alleviate intestinal colic. However, by paying attention to certain details in everyday life, medication can often be avoided. Therefore, diet is crucially important.
Can you smoke with gastroenteritis?
If suffering from gastroenteritis, the main clinical symptoms usually include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or fever. If these symptoms occur, it is best to test the stool and blood to determine whether the infection is bacterial or viral, and then treat accordingly. It is not recommended for patients with gastroenteritis to smoke, as smoking primarily harms the lungs, easily causing chronic bronchitis, asthma, or even allergies. Furthermore, smoking can affect the blood concentration of medications, thus during the treatment of gastroenteritis with oral medications or intravenous infusions, smoking can affect the efficacy of the treatment. Therefore, patients with gastroenteritis should not smoke.
Does lactose intolerance definitely not lead to weight gain?
Lactose intolerance does not necessarily affect body weight. Lactose intolerance merely causes symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bloating when consuming regular formula or cow's milk. If one consumes hydrolyzed formula or lactose-free milk powder, these symptoms, such as diarrhea, do not occur, and nutrients can be fully digested and absorbed. By ensuring adequate nutrition, this can lead to weight gain and obesity, rather than causing a person to be underweight.
Does acute gastroenteritis hurt?
When suffering from acute gastroenteritis, the inflammation can cause irregular and accelerated intestinal peristalsis, which may lead to intestinal spasms and colic. In such cases, the first step should be proactive anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment. Then, applying a heat pack on the stomach and drinking more hot water can help alleviate the symptoms. If the pain is severe, and the patient is sweating profusely, looks pale, and has cold hands and feet, going to the hospital for an intramuscular injection of Scopolamine Butylbromide can relieve smooth muscle spasms and relax the muscles, thereby easing the pain. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to dietary hygiene. It is crucial to thoroughly heat or cook food taken out from the refrigerator before eating, as prevention is more important than treatment.
Is fatty liver serious?
Is fatty liver serious? There are many causes of fatty liver, including obesity, medications, alcohol consumption, toxins, and malnutrition, all of which can lead to fatty liver. Generally, mild fatty liver can be reversed through proper diet and exercise. However, reversing severe fatty liver can be very difficult and challenging. At this time, patients need to have enduring stamina and confidence to cure fatty liver. The main approach is to strictly control the diet with low salt and low fat, avoiding greasy foods. Additionally, appropriate exercise is very important for eliminating fatty liver. Treating fatty liver cannot rely solely on medications, as this addresses the symptoms but not the root cause. Exercise is essential.
Does esophagitis cause chest pain?
People with esophagitis, generally reflux esophagitis, suffer due to the stomach acid refluxing back into the esophagus, which irritates or damages the mucous membrane of the esophagus. This causes symptoms such as congestion, edema, and pain, especially after consuming acidic, spicy, or overly hot foods, where the sensation of pain can become more pronounced. Thus, patients with esophagitis may experience symptoms of chest pain. By paying attention to dietary control, avoiding overly acidic, spicy, or hot foods, and taking medications that protect the esophageal mucous membrane and suppress stomach acid secretion, these symptoms of chest pain can gradually be alleviated and even completely cured.
Symptoms of duodenal ulcer
What are the symptoms of duodenal ulcers? Generally, the most obvious symptom of a duodenal ulcer is pain on an empty stomach, which often occurs at midnight or early morning, causing one to wake up from sleep in pain. This is a relatively clear symptom. When this symptom occurs, it is best to go to the hospital for a gastroscope examination as soon as possible. After a clear diagnosis, medication should be taken regularly and according to the treatment course for a cure. Generally, taking medications that inhibit gastric acid secretion and protect the intestinal mucosa, and medications for gastric mucosa, can be quite effective. It is also necessary to test for Helicobacter pylori, and if there is a concurrent infection, antibacterial treatment should be carried out.
Is it scary to have bleeding hemorrhoids?
Firstly, hemorrhoids are soft venous masses formed by the dilation and excessive twisting of veins under the mucous membrane and the skin at the end of the rectum. During defecation, the stool rubs against the raised twisted veins, and the straining during defecation causes increased pressure on these vessels, leading to rupturing of the hemorrhoidal veins and resulting in bleeding with the stools. If the amount of bleeding is significant, it can lead to symptoms like anemia and dizziness. If the bleeding is minor, it generally does not pose a problem. Therefore, if there is a case of hemorrhoidal bleeding, it is best to visit the colorectal surgery department of a hospital for a proper diagnosis and, if necessary, surgical treatment can be performed to prevent recurrence of the bleeding.
Can you eat grapes with bile reflux gastritis?
When suffering from bile reflux gastritis in its less severe form, one can occasionally eat grapes without causing significant impact on the digestive tract. However, it is important to avoid consuming too much at once, as this can irritate the esophageal mucosa and worsen the condition. With bile reflux gastritis, it is essential to control one's diet routinely. One should eat less raw and cold fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and irritating foods, overly greasy and indigestible foods, as well as fried and grilled items, and strictly abstain from alcohol.
Gastroenteritis dehydration symptoms
Gastroenteritis, also known as stomach flu, mainly occurs due to simultaneous infections in the stomach and intestinal mucosa by bacteria or viruses. The primary clinical symptoms are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and watery stools—some experience it five or six times a day, and others more than ten times a day. Increased frequency of stools can lead to symptoms of dehydration. Excessive loss of body fluids can cause electrolyte imbalance and dehydration, presenting symptoms such as pale complexion, cold limbs, fever, and decreased blood pressure. In such cases, it is essential to go to the hospital for intravenous fluids as soon as possible. Oral rehydration solutions can also be used, but if the patient experiences severe nausea and vomiting, intravenous administration of glucose, saline, and potassium chloride is necessary. (Please rehydrate under the guidance of a doctor.)
