Patient's question:
Besides amoxicillin, what are some fast and safe over-the-counter medications for treating stomach ulcers, excluding anti-inflammatory drugs?Doctor's answer:
After carefully reviewing your description and symptoms, simple gastric ulcers are not recommended for oral antibiotic treatment. If the gastric ulcer is accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection, a quadruple therapy is recommended to eradicate Helicobacter pylori. If there is no allergy, clarithromycin or levofloxacin capsules can be added for treatment. Pay attention to diet in daily life, avoid extremely cold, hard, spicy, and greasy foods, maintain a regular lifestyle and routine, eat small meals frequently with easy-to-digest soft foods, and undergo regular follow-up gastroscopy examinations. In fact, having a gastric ulcer is not, patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
