Patient's question:
Reflux gastritis for more than a year, napping in the afternoon has led to unbearable back pain. During severe periods, it's hard to maintain pain during the day. Is this serious?Doctor's answer:
Reflux esophagitis is a condition that tends to recur repeatedly. Especially, improper diet, alcohol consumption, smoking, eating extremely cold or spicy and irritating foods, and sweets can trigger the recurrence of esophagitis. Therefore, after self-healing, proper regulation is necessary to prevent recurrence. If it recurs, timely treatment is required. You can use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, but avoid long-term use of antacids, as prolonged use may cause gastric mucosal expansion. Patients facing gastritis issues should actively undergo examinations and treatment without avoiding medical visits. If gastritis does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
