Dr. He Huipeng
The symptoms of gastroenteritis are mainly caused by bacterial or viral infections. Patients may experience bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Treatment can include medications such as those that promote the repair of the digestive mucosa, anti-infective agents, and drugs that regulate intestinal function. During medication, patients should strictly follow medical advice and avoid self-medicating to prevent adverse effects.
