Dr. He Huipeng
For acute gastroenteritis with stomach bloating, Baohe Pill may be considered depending on the condition. If the symptoms are caused by indigestion, gastrointestinal dysfunction, or food accumulation, taking an appropriate amount of Baohe Pill can be helpful. However, if the patient experiences diarrhea and abdominal pain, Baohe Pill may relieve symptoms slowly. It is recommended that patients take antibiotic medications under the guidance of a doctor.
