2. Gastric ulcer

Stomach discomfort during or about 30 minutes after eating is a typical clinical manifestation of gastric ulcer.

A gastroscopy can be performed to confirm the diagnosis. If gastric ulcer has been confirmed by gastroscopy, it should be treated with oral drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion (such as omeprazole) and drugs that protect the gastric mucosa (such as sucralfate or bismuth).

3. Acute gastritis

After having a full meal, I ate a lot of watermelon. Then I had stomach pain all the time. After a few hours of pain, I vomited. But after vomiting, my stomach still felt uncomfortable and the stomach was very sour and burned my throat. When I woke up the next morning, my stomach started to hurt again. This may be caused by acute gastritis. If you have stomach pain after eating watermelon on an empty stomach, it may be acute gastritis.

It is recommended to take rabeprazole, rehydration salts and metoclopramide orally for treatment. Eat liquid or semi-liquid food that is easy to digest.

4. Helicobacter pylori infection

Some people choose to eat watermelon with their relatives and friends. If one of them is infected with bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori, others may be infected.

If you are infected with Helicobacter pylori, you should take oral drugs to kill Helicobacter pylori for at least one course of treatment, and then have a follow-up check to see the treatment effect of Helicobacter pylori and evaluate whether you still need to continue anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment.

5. Intestinal infectious diseases

The temperature is high in summer, and if watermelons are opened for too long, they will easily deteriorate and breed bacteria, and eating them will cause intestinal infectious diseases. Therefore, when eating watermelon, you should pay attention to choosing ripe and fresh watermelon.

6. Caused by gastrointestinal digestion

You can take appropriate amounts of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Metoclopramide to improve the condition. Also, pay attention to drinking more hot water during stomach pain and avoid eating spicy, raw, cold, and irritating foods.
