Patient's question:
Four months ago, I had an endoscopy which revealed erosive gastritis. After taking medication for a month, I had another endoscopy, and it was still erosive gastritis. I then took two months of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and also drank a half-month of decoctions. Now, I have severe burning sensation in my stomach, feeling hungry but also full, with acid reflux, and my mouth feels rotten. How do I need to have another endoscopy, and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
A complete recovery from gastritis requires a chronic process, so don't be impatient! It is recommended that you no longer need to undergo a gastroscopy, as it should not be performed too frequently. You can take oral Domperidone and Omeprazole capsules for treatment. While receiving medication, pay attention to developing good dietary habits, eat meals on time, avoid overeating, and consider eating smaller, more frequent meals. Avoid spicy and irritating foods and drinks. Rest and avoid overexertion. For severe gastritis patients, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not blindly trust and use advertised medications for treatment, as this may worsen the condition.
