Problem description: I often have symptoms of acid reflux and vomiting after eating. I went to the hospital for a painless gastroscopy today. What are the precautions after the painless gastroscopy?
Question date: 2020-11-10
Patient information: Age: 35 Gender: Male
Needed after doing painless gastroscopy Be careful not to eat within two hours.
Since the esophagus is anesthetized during the examination, the patient’s swallowing function disappears, and eating immediately after the examination will cause the patient to have cough symptoms. At the same time, after the examination, there will be discomfort and pain in the throat. During this period, light salt water can be used to gargle to reduce inflammation, which is beneficial to the improvement of the condition.
Patients need to rest in bed after the examination. If there is persistent pain four hours after the examination, they need to go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid damage to the esophagus and stomach.
