Dr. Shen Yonghua
Methods for relieving abdominal pain caused by chronic gastroenteritis mainly include:
1. Physical therapy: Apply a hot water bottle or warm towel to the navel area for about 20 minutes to promote blood circulation and relieve pain through heat stimulation. Gently massage the Hegu (LI4) and Daheng (SP15) acupoints, which can help regulate qi flow, relieve pain, and improve spleen and stomach function.
2. Dietary adjustment: Drink plenty of warm water to alleviate dehydration caused by diarrhea and help maintain acid-base balance and relieve pain. Maintain a light diet, avoid irritant foods, and choose easily digestible foods such as millet porridge and pumpkin porridge to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
3. Medication: Based on a doctor's advice, select appropriate medications according to the underlying cause, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, or probiotics, to reduce inflammation, regulate intestinal flora, and thereby relieve abdominal pain.
