① Target the cause of the disease: Gastritis will be relieved after eradication of Helicobacter pylori. Medications to kill Helicobacter pylori require persistent high doses, sufficient duration, and combined use.
② Promotility drugs for the gastrointestinal tract, gastric mucosal-protecting drugs, and antacid treatment can be applied. Additionally, dietary habits should be adjusted during daily life. Specific medication recommendations should be used under the guidance of a local doctor.
Children should pay attention to participating in appropriate physical exercise, not being picky or biased in eating, avoiding irritating foods, and developing good dietary habits.
