Patient's question:
It's been almost a year. The breath is quite heavy, the stool is black and in an unformed state. How should it be treated? What medicine should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms could be a manifestation of either reflux gastritis or esophagitis. Patients with such conditions often experience bad breath after going to bed. The medication prescribed by your doctor may be a bismuth preparation, which can cause black stools. You can take a prokinetic agent like metoclopramide and supplement with an acid-reducing drug like omeprazole. If it doesn't improve, you can have an endoscopy done at the hospital for peace of mind.Survival care: Pay attention to whether the condition is caused by food or medication, and whether there is gastrointestinal bleeding. It is recommended to have a thorough examination before making any decisions. If there are issues, seek treatment as soon as possible. In fact, having bad breath is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness as long as they receive timely treatment in the early stages.
