How is atrophic gastritis treated?

Patient's question:

Suffered from the disease for more than twenty years, had severe abdominal pain for the past two days, like intense pain, breathing hurts, coughing also hurts, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

For the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis, the main approach is to address symptoms. At the same time, it is important to avoid medications that harm the gastric mucosa, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, erythromycin, and cortisone. For patients with a positive Helicobacter pylori test, antibiotics such as amoxicillin capsules should be taken, as they can directly kill the bacteria. Lanzoprazole (also known as Lixue Dele) should also be used. If the gastritis condition is severe, it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment and follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care, including proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition. The above information is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
