Patient's question:
I am a male, 23 years old. I don't often eat breakfast. Recently, I haven't had much appetite for dinner, and I often get stomach pain. After having an endoscopy at the hospital, I was diagnosed with erosive gastritis. I would like to ask if it's okay to drink a lot of water with erosive gastritis? How should I pay attention to my diet?Doctor's answer:
Young man, frequently experiencing stomach pain. A thorough examination reveals erosive gastritis. Drinking plenty of water has little impact on gastritis, so it is recommended to drink as much as possible. Attention should be paid to diet, avoiding spicy, extremely cold, and irritating foods, as well as quitting smoking and alcohol. If symptoms recur, antacid medications such as Esomeprazole Enteric-Coated Capsules can be taken to treat the condition, along with bismuth preparations like Pectin Bismuth Capsules to protect the stomach lining.
