Patient's question:
The course of the disease has been 20 years, with a dull pain in the upper abdomen, belching, and acid reflux. In the recent half month, there has been occasional dull stomach pain. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Reflux esophagitis and chronic superficial gastritis both fall under the category of chronic stomach conditions. Your condition is primarily caused by damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, leading to symptoms such as stomach pain, belching, and acid reflux. Generally, conventional medications struggle to provide a complete cure. Due to the lack of proper treatment, there is a possibility that your condition may worsen further. Therefore, it is crucial to receive correct treatment to achieve early recovery and avoid prolonged illness, which could lead to further deterioration.Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated many highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. It is recommended that you use the following traditional Chinese herbs:
Black alum, black jujube, walnuts, gardenia, Poria, cardamom, magnolia bark, sparganium, pangolin scales, bupleurum, malt, upper and lower tiger bone, and safflower.
