Patient's question:
Previously, it was carefully checked to be mild gastritis, but later it didn't hurt anymore. Recently, the stomach suddenly hurts very badly. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It could be gastritis or a peptic ulcer. It's best to have an endoscopy for a thorough examination. I suggest taking Huoxiang Chongji, Lansoprazole, Colloidal Bismuth Capsules, Bile Acid Binders, and Clarithromycin to see how they work. Seek proper treatment from a gastroenterologist. It's essential to get a prescription from a local doctor. And once it improves, it must be maintained for a stable period. Avoid alcohol, coffee, tea, very cold, and spicy foods. Eat less starchy foods like potatoes, taro, vermicelli, rice noodles, sweet potatoes, etc., and avoid soda crackers.
