Patient's question:
My husband has been suffering from erosive gastritis and has taken many medications without any effect. What should we do? Omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, Amoxicillin capsules, Cefixime capsules, Pantoprazole sodium enteric-coated capsules. Will there be side effects from taking these medications long-term? How long should these medications generally be taken before they can be stopped?Doctor's answer:
Any drug has side effects and cannot be taken long-term. Erosive gastritis will improve on its own after a period of treatment. If it doesn't work, it's because your symptoms haven't improved. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for regulation under the guidance of a physician with rich clinical experience, otherwise, indiscriminate medication may worsen the condition. In addition to taking medication to treat gastritis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet daily and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
