Patient's question:
Boy, seven years old, three days ago in the morning, he woke up complaining of stomach pain, no fever, vomited once in the morning, not in good spirits, and felt severe pain when eating a little. Diagnosed with acute gastritis at the local hospital.Doctor's answer:
As the saying goes, treating stomach problems is only 30% about treatment and 70% about care, so care is extremely important. Children should be given more light and easily digestible foods on a regular basis, with well-balanced meals for three meals a day, paying special attention to breakfast. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. It's also important to pay attention to diet and personal hygiene. For treatment, cimetidine can be used to inhibit stomach acid secretion, sucralfate or Smecta can protect the stomach lining, and Mezim can stabilize gastric wall cells to reduce secretion.
