Patient's question:
I've been feeling a bit greasy in my mouth, like it's dry. I've also had persistent belching, and eating feels like choking. I've always been like this before. I had an endoscopy in the past, which showed superficial chronic gastritis. Recently, I've been feeling generally uncomfortable, wondering if it might be serious.Doctor's answer:
(1) Upper abdominal pain can be treated with Belladonna tablets 8 mg (1 tablet), three times daily, or Atropine tablets 0.3 mg, three times daily; Domperidone tablets 0.5 mg, three times daily; Hericium erinaceus tablets 3 tablets, three times daily, taken orally.(2) For elevated stomach acid, Aluminum hydroxide gel 10 mL can be given three times daily, taken orally.
(3) If the stomach acid is reduced, 0.5% dilute hydrochloric acid or pepsin mixture 10 mL can be administered three times daily, taken orally.
