What medicine should be taken for stomach problems?

Patient's question:

Yesterday I drank cola, and today I vomited, my stomach feels uncomfortable, nausea, and I cannot defecate. What medicine should I take for stomach problems?

Doctor's answer:

Gastrointestinal disorders are primarily gastritis and peptic ulcers. Gastritis is mainly caused by HP infection, while autoimmune gastritis is rare. It can be accompanied by malignant anemia and other autoimmune diseases, characterized by:
Upper abdominal pain
Early satiety
Nausea
Belching
The first step in treatment is to test for HP and take HP-targeted medications. Antacids are also recommended for symptomatic relief. Antacid treatment includes alkaline antacids like aluminum hydroxide and H2 receptor blockers like cimetidine, as well as PPIs and prokinetic drugs to promote gastrointestinal motility and protect the gastric mucosa.
The key is to maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid stress, and follow a balanced diet. Quitting smoking and alcohol consumption are also essential. In addition to timely treatment for gastric conditions, patients should pay attention to their dietary habits.
