Patient's question:
Six months ago, a thorough examination revealed chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers. After dinner, I sometimes experience a dull pain in the upper abdomen, occasional stomach pain, and bloating, followed by diarrhea, which makes me feel much better. Can I buy medicine for self-treatment?Doctor's answer:
Based on your careful examination results, it can be seen that your condition is relatively severe. It is considered that it is caused by Helicobacter pylori. You can buy omeprazole, amoxicillin, and metronidazole at a pharmacy to treat Helicobacter pylori for two weeks. Then, switch to omeprazole and colloidal bismuth for one to two months. Pay attention to regular diet, eat easily digestible foods, and may also choose a small meal multiple times a day. Avoid drinking beer, smoking, and eating. For patients with gastric ulcers, in addition to receiving standard treatment, dietary therapy can be used as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily meals to avoid foods.
