If stomach pain becomes worse after taking Chinese medicines to regulate the spleen and stomach, one should first rule out one’s own problems, such as poor dietary habits and failure to take medicines as prescribed by the doctor. In addition to this, it may also be a reaction to the stimulation of the medication, or it may be the result of the medication not being correct for the patient’s condition.
The use of medicines to regulate the spleen and stomach is often based on symptoms such as insufficient stomach yin (insufficient yin fluid in the stomach), coldness in the spleen and stomach, stagnation in the spleen and stomach, and fire in the stomach, all of which can lead to pain in the stomach and epigastric region (pain in the area of the stomach close to the heart socket) and other symptoms.
If the pain is aggravated after taking the medicine, it can be caused by the stimulation reaction before the medicine gets better; it can also be caused by other factors such as improper diet or feeling of other evils during the period of taking the medicine.
In addition, if the amount of medicine taken is too large, or the medicine is not suitable for the symptoms, or taking other medicines at the same time can also lead to aggravation of pain. If it occurs, one should consult the attending physician to clarify the cause of the disease and dispose of it in a timely manner, and the medication should be taken in strict accordance with the doctor’s instructions to avoid adverse consequences.
