Patient's question:
On August 24th, a thorough examination revealed chronic non-atrophic gastritis, accompanied by erosion and edema. I took Western medicine for over 20 days, with the rest being Chinese medicine. For more than ten days, the pain subsided, but now it has started again, and I've been experiencing frequent belching and pain after eating! What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Chronic gastritis with erosion, the treatment period is long, and it should be based on Western medicine. A 20-day course is not enough. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up visit and receive systematic treatment. The medication should be gradually adjusted according to the condition. Do not stop taking the medication blindly on your own. A gastroscopy should be repeated in three months. Maintain a regular diet, avoid extremely cold, spicy, and greasy foods, and eat more warm, easily digestible foods. For severe gastritis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not blindly trust advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
