Acute gastroenteritis patients can drink ginger soup, but should avoid excessive consumption. Acute gastroenteritis is a common digestive system disorder characterized by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Ginger soup has a warming effect that helps regulate the gastrointestinal tract and inhibit microbial imbalance, thereby alleviating gastrointestinal inflammation. In addition, ginger soup possesses properties that dispel wind and cold, as well as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, which can promote recovery from gastroenteritis.
