How can I get better quickly and effectively from a stomach cold?

Many people often encounter gastrointestinal colds in their daily lives. Generally, after getting this disease, most of them are caused by external stimuli, so you must be vigilant in your daily life. If you want to recover quickly from gastrointestinal colds, the key is to pay attention to changes in your lifestyle.

The main causes of gastrointestinal colds come from external stimuli and other factors, and they occur more frequently when the weather changes from cold to warm. This is due to the irritation of the stomach and intestines by cold air, coupled with abnormal living habits and poor diet. Right now, the weather is cold, and many people like to drink cold drinks while eating hot pot. These greasy, spicy, and hot and cold foods will irritate the intestinal mucosa and cause gastrointestinal spasms. Gastrointestinal cold is different from gastroenteritis. The main difference is that patients with acute gastroenteritis often have a history of unclean food, nausea and vomiting are more severe, and the vomitus often has a pungent odor, but generally have no fever symptoms. Many people often mistakenly treat gastrointestinal cold as acute gastroenteritis at the beginning of its onset.

In terms of medicine selection, in addition to taking medicines for treating colds, you should also take some Chinese medicines that can help digestion, relieve stagnation and relieve exterior symptoms, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills, Jiawei Baohe Pills, Zhupo Houzao Powder, etc. On the other hand, the gastrointestinal tract should be given sufficient rest. The purpose of reducing the burden on the stomach and intestines is to restore the digestive function earlier so that the amount of food intake can be increased. On the contrary, it will only increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and eventually turn into chronic gastroenteritis.

You should pay attention to prevention and food hygiene in your daily life, avoid eating raw, cold and indigestible foods, eat more pasta, avoid alcohol, and avoid strenuous exercise after meals. The change of seasons is the peak season for gastrointestinal colds, especially when spring turns to summer and summer turns to autumn. We should be particularly vigilant about the occurrence of gastrointestinal colds.
