Patient's question:
My father has had atrophic gastritis for many years. He has been treated, but it keeps coming back. He has visited many reputable hospitals, but it hasn't been completely cured. He can't take medicine all year round and is very cautious about what he eats. He always has stomach pain, is very thin, and is in great pain. I would like to consult on how to obtain effective treatment.Doctor's answer:
The most common symptoms of chronic atrophic gastritis are generally not serious, but due to the need for persistent medication treatment to combat HP infection, it is necessary to be patient. You can take Lansoprazole, but it is better to drink it, and it is best to take Omeprazole. Clarithromycin is for your helicobacter pylori, so you need to take it. You can also switch to Amoxicillin, but Amoxicillin belongs to the penicillin class, so those allergic cannot take it. The doctor asks: In addition to treating gastritis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a happy mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
