Patient's question:
I've had stomach pain for over a month. The doctor said it's chronic gastritis, but I haven't had an endoscopy and have been taking medicine. Yet the pain still persists. Why? How can I make it stop? It's so unbearable. What medicine should I take for chronic gastritis and stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
The main culprit of gastritis is usually Helicobacter pylori. If you have gastritis, you should actively take triple or quadruple therapy. Lanazol, bismuth potassium citrate, and clarithromycin are common combinations. Add cisapride for abdominal pain, and add propantheline for abdominal pain. Avoid extremely cold and irritating foods in daily life. With proper treatment, gastritis is curable. Pay attention to regular follow-up gastroscopy.There are several treatment methods for gastritis, but since patients have different symptoms, the treatment methods will vary. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the correct treatment can be administered.
