Eructar - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Eructos; Eructo por gases; Regüeldo

Cuidados en el hogar:

Usted puede obtener cierto alivio acostándose sobre un costado o en posición fetal hasta que el gas salga.

Evite masticar goma de mascar, comer rápidamente e ingerir alimentos y bebidas que produzcan gases.

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Eructar generalmente es un síntoma menor. Sin embargo, consulte con el médico si los eructos son persistentes e inexplicables o si están acompañados de otros síntomas.

Lo que se puede esperar en el consultorio médico:

El médico lo examinará y le hará preguntas acerca de la historia clínica y los síntomas, como las siguientes:

  • ¿Es la primera vez que esto ha ocurrido?
  • ¿Hay un patrón en los eructos? Por ejemplo, ¿ocurren cuando está nervioso o después de ingerir ciertos alimentos o bebidas?
  • ¿Qué otros síntomas tiene?

Los exámenes de diagnóstico dependerán de los hallazgos del examen físico y otros signos o síntomas que usted tenga con los eructos.
