The Healthier Internal Medicine Clinic: The Hospital to Visit When You're Sick - A Review of an Emergency Visit for Enteritis

Recently, I had a day when I suddenly felt a stomachache, diarrhea, and chills all at once, and my condition completely deteriorated. I felt like I was going to get dehydrated, so without a moment's hesitation, I rushed to the nearest internal medicine clinic.

When I suddenly get sick, I usually go to the nearby Daegangan Internal Medicine Clinic first. The wait is short and I can get injections and IVs all at once, so I almost always go there when I suspect acute enteritis.

This time, as soon as I told the doctor my symptoms were almost certainly enteritis, he immediately prescribed a full course of painkillers, anti-enteritis medication, and IV fluids. My stomach was in a squeezing pain, but after the injection and the warm IV fluids, I felt my body gradually loosening up. Honestly, just lying down while I was getting the IVs was soothing in itself.

I took the medicine right away, and the next day, my stomach pain was significantly reduced, and the frequency of diarrhea also decreased significantly. I realized once again that it's much better to go to the hospital and get treatment quickly than to endure it and end up worsening the problem.

If you suddenly experience symptoms like mine that make your stomach hurt so much it makes you feel like your stomach is going to explode, go to an internal medicine clinic or emergency room right away! Especially in cases of enteritis, which can easily lead to dehydration, a single intravenous fluid injection can make a huge difference.
