In some informal channels sold "folk remedies", "ancestral secret recipes", often the efficacy of the god, but once people credulously try, not only can not cure the disease, but also easy to cause other health problems. Recently, Grandma Zhang, who lives in Wuhan, Hubei Province, took an "ancestral secret recipe" due to low back pain, and as a result, the old disease was not cured, but it caused stomach bleeding.
According to family members, the elderly have the problem of lumbar disc herniation, and they cannot stand up straight when the symptoms are severe. More than half a month ago, Grandma Zhang heard that a private massage shop near her home had an "ancestral secret recipe" for treating low back pain, so she bought a dose of the treatment course and wanted to try it.
After taking the medicine for a few days, Grandma Zhang had a decrease in appetite, dizziness, fatigue and other discomforts, and even the stool pulled out was black. The family quickly sent Grandma Zhang to the gastroenterology clinic of the hospital for medical treatment. After gastroscopy, the elderly were diagnosed with multiple ulcers of the gastroduodenum with bleeding and moderate anemia. Doctors combined with medical history to diagnose that the condition of the elderly is closely related to this so-called "ancestral secret recipe".
Doctor: We later learned that this secret recipe actually contains dexamethasone, phenylbutazone, ibuprofen and other ingredients. Although this nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug has a certain pain relief effect, it is also easy to cause related ulcers when not used irregularly, which in turn is complicated by gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic anemia, stomach distention, poor appetite, dizziness, melena and a series of typical symptoms.
In order to avoid further aggravation of the disease, the gastroenterologist recommended that Grandma Zhang be hospitalized to receive comprehensive symptomatic treatment such as stomach protection, acid suppression, and energy supplementation. At present, the discomfort of the elderly has been significantly alleviated, and the diet has gradually recovered, and it is about to recover and be discharged from the hospital.
Doctor: Here we should also remind everyone that taking medicine must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and the risk of blindly taking medicine is high. If the disease is found, it is still necessary to go to the regular hospital as soon as possible to find a professional doctor for symptomatic treatment.
