What should I do if the doctor said I have superficial gastritis recently?

Patient's question:

A while ago, after a thorough examination, the doctor said it was superficial gastritis. I took medication and the pain went away. But recently, I've been feeling very hungry frequently in my stomach. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Eliminating the factors causing anemia is the best strategy for treatment and prevention of chronic superficial gastritis. Therefore, it is important to prevent mental stress, quit smoking, avoid excessive alcohol consumption, minimize the intake of medications that harm the stomach, and actively treat chronic tonsillitis, sinusitis, dental caries, and other infectious foci in the throat.
2. Dietary Therapy: Patients with chronic superficial gastritis should follow a light, regular, and scheduled diet, avoiding overly acidic, spicy, extremely cold, or rough foods.
3. Medication Treatment: The treatment of chronic superficial gastritis can generally be divided into two categories: medications that protect the gastric mucosa and medications that completely eliminate factors harmful to the gastric mucosa.
