Patient's question:
I already have chronic pharyngitis, and I love to talk. My throat hasn't felt comfortable since September. It has been good and bad at times. Now, I can't eat much at dinner—eating a little makes me feel full, and eating too much causes pain. I feel like there's gas in my stomach, stuck between coming up and going down. Is this chronic gastritis? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
I can help you get better. First, quit smoking and drinking (if you can't quit completely, try to smoke and drink less). Eat less spicy and other foods that harm your stomach, do more work and think less about troubles, reduce psychological stress, don't get angry or impatient, and maintain a good mood. This is the most important thing. You must take care of yourself. Otherwise, it won't be cured just with medication. When you can do all the above, add the following medication, and you can be completely healed within three months. The medication is: Omeprazole 1 tablet twice a day (take orally for two months and then stop immediately. If the heartburn is severe, you can add 1 tablet each time.)
