Hello doctor! I had stomach pain, so I went to the doctor, when the doctor examined the ultrasound, the small bowel loop next to the ileum was infiltrated with mild fat around. White blood cell count increased. The doctor concluded an intestinal infection. But given the medicine to take, I had a headache and nausea. So let me ask, how serious is intestinal infection? Can I stop taking the medicine?
