Place a clean bucket nearby to observe the bowel movement; if the red medicine has not been expelled, it indicates that the accumulation has not yet been eliminated. Drink one cup of warm wine to induce a bowel movement, and the medicine and the accumulation will naturally be expelled together. If diarrhea persists, stop it with warm congee.

Avoid oil and salt for 7 days.
