How should chronic superficial gastritis be handled?

Patient's question:

The esophagus is well expanded at all segments, patent, and the cardia opens and closes well. The fundic mucus is pasty and turbid. The gastric body rugae are normal in course, with some red papules and poor mobility. The gastric antrum mucosa is congested and edematous, appearing red and white intermingled. The pylorus is round with poor opening and closing function; bile reflux?

Doctor's answer:

Cystic gastritis is a type of chronic gastritis, and there is currently no specific treatment. For those who can identify the cause, treatment should be targeted at the cause. For those without symptoms, treatment is not necessary. It is important to prevent indiscriminate and irrational medication use. Treatment drugs should be appropriately determined based on different clinical manifestations. For those with digestive disorders, gastric mucosal protectants such as sucralfate can be administered. For those with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, gastrointestinal motility drugs such as metoclopramide or cisapride can be given. Gastritis patients can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while understanding symptomatic treatment in daily life. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
