7. Acute gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis can be characterized by diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting, and other symptoms. There are two general categories.
Bacterial infections – Vibrio Enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, pathogenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Cactus, which are usually caused by the lack of fresh food and are prone to occur in the humid and hot summer in Taiwan.
Viral infections – Children can easily be infected with rotavirus in winter. Acute gastroenteritis can also be caused by gastrointestinal colds.
Relief method
Always see your doctor and take the medication as directed by your doctor.
After the symptoms have subsided, try to eat small, frequent meals with easily digestible foods such as rice, white toast, steamed fish, apples and bananas.
8. Stomach Cancer
The American Cancer Society announced that stomach cancer is the fifth most common and the third most deadly cancer in the world in 2018. In Taiwan, stomach cancer is also listed in the top 10, so we have to pay attention to its symptoms.
The causes of the disease are broadly divided into acquired diet and congenital genetics. If you have sudden stomach pain that does not heal for a long time, or if you cannot find the cause, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained poor appetite, you should go to the doctor for a careful examination to avoid mistaking it for gastritis and ignoring the golden period of treatment.
Instead of waiting for the stomach pain to find itself and suffer before seeking relief or solutions, it is better to take precautions from day to day to keep the «stomach» safe!
