Treatment of acute gastritis in children

Patient's question:

Boy, seven years old, three days ago in the morning, he complained of stomach pain, no fever, vomited once in the morning, not in good spirits, and felt severe pain after eating something. He was diagnosed with acute gastritis at the local hospital.

Doctor's answer:

As the saying goes, treating stomach problems is only 30% of the solution, while nurturing is 70%. Therefore, nurturing is extremely important. Children should be given more light and easily digestible foods in their daily diet. Meals should be reasonably balanced, with special attention to breakfast. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is also important to pay attention to diet and personal hygiene. Treatment can involve using cimetidine to inhibit stomach acid secretion, sucralfate or smecta to protect the stomach lining, and Mezim to stabilize gastric wall cells and reduce secretion.
