Introduction
Gastric coldness accompanied by nausea and vomiting can be managed symptomatically under a physician’s guidance using antiemetics, antispasmodics, and analgesics. Commonly used antispasmodic and analgesic agents include phloroglucinol injection or anisodamine injection. Prior to administering antispasmodic or analgesic drugs, contraindications such as glaucoma or benign prostatic hyperplasia must be ruled out. Commonly used antiemetic agents include ondansetron injection.
In daily life, many people suddenly experience abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. However, due to limited understanding of such symptoms, they often do not know how to respond appropriately when these symptoms arise. In fact, these symptoms are commonly caused by gastrointestinal disorders, which require timely treatment to prevent disease progression. So what should one do when experiencing abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting?
What to do for nausea and vomiting caused by gastric coldness (hypothermic stomach)
Nausea and vomiting resulting from gastric coldness can be managed symptomatically under a physician’s guidance using antiemetics, antispasmodics, and analgesics. Commonly used antispasmodic and analgesic agents include phloroglucinol injection or anisodamine injection. Prior to administering antispasmodic or analgesic medications, contraindications such as glaucoma or benign prostatic hyperplasia must be ruled out. Commonly prescribed antiemetics include ondansetron injection or metoclopramide injection. In addition to active symptomatic treatment targeting nausea and pain relief, relevant diagnostic tests should be promptly performed to identify the underlying cause; once a definitive diagnosis is established, targeted therapy should be intensified.
Abdominal pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting may stem from acute gastric mucosal lesions due to improper diet, or from conditions such as acute gastritis, gastrointestinal obstruction, cholecystitis, or pancreatitis. Diagnostic evaluations—including gastrointestinal ultrasound, upper abdominal CT, serum amylase and lipase levels, and plain abdominal radiography—should be performed and interpreted comprehensively. In most cases, this presentation is attributable to acute gastroenteritis secondary to dietary indiscretion. For women in their menstrual period, dysmenorrhea should also be considered; abdominal heat application and gentle massage, along with maintaining warmth and consuming a light, bland diet, are recommended.
Patients are also advised to pay attention to daily self-care: eat meals regularly and avoid overeating or binge eating. We hope this information proves helpful.
