Patient's question:
A few days ago, I ate something and my stomach kept making gurgling noises. Recently, I've been burping a lot too, and I feel a slight pain in my stomach and as if something is pressing on it. I've been having a bowel movement once or twice a day for about a week now. Is this gastritis?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, the suspicion is indigestion. It is recommended to avoid overeating and to eat smaller, more frequent meals. After meals, it's a good idea to take a leisurely walk to prevent overexertion. You can also consume some hawthorn after meals, and if necessary, take Baohuo pills. It's important to wait and see for a while. If the symptoms do not completely disappear, it may be necessary to visit a formal hospital's gastroenterology department for a diagnosis.The doctor will ask: The daily treatment for patients with gastritis mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can use various oral medications and supplement with vitamins, while paying attention to a diet that includes light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
