Patient's question:
Stomach pain, stomach gurgling, I visited an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor today. After feeling my pulse, he diagnosed it as gastritis and prescribed these medications: Snow Mountain Stomach Treasure Capsules, Stomach Friend Tablets, Dimethicone Tablets, and Vitamin Enzyme Tablets. After taking them for a day with no effect, should I continue taking them attentively?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, if it is confirmed as symptomatic gastritis, the treatment time generally needs to be implemented according to the course with regular medication. It is recommended that in this case, at least one to two weeks of medication should be taken to see the effect, and then based on the future results, a gastroscopy may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis if needed. The daily treatment for patients with stomach pain is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can use many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines, avoiding alcohol.
